• Significant Project Manager experience with a track record of delivering complex, high-impact change. You must be able to demo project execution, across all critical stages of a PM framework.
• Solid knowledge of project delivery methodologies and tools e.g. Waterfall, Agile, Confluence, JIRA (some rather than all)
• Experience working across multiple business units and stakeholders, including remote or dispersed teams
• A proven ability to design and implement innovative solutions that challenge the status quo
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset — someone who gets things done without cutting corners

 
Nice to have:
