Experience: 8+ years of project management experience

We're hiring a Project Manager to plan, run, and control IT software‑development projects across both traditional waterfall and Agile (Scrum) delivery models. The role drives work with multi‑disciplinary teams across IT departments—owning scope, schedule, budget, resources, risk, and stakeholder communication from initiation through delivery, change control, and post‑project review.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, run, monitor, and control projects in both waterfall and Agile (Scrum) methodologies—owning scope, timeline, budget, resources, milestones, and deliverables.

• Develop detailed project plans for both in‑house and vendor product‑implementation projects, and establish project‑specific governance and cadence with the right stakeholders.

• Align, engage, and drive multi‑disciplinary teams across IT departments, ensuring effective utilisation of resources toward project success.

• Lead the Request for Proposal (RFP) process end‑to‑end: requirements documentation, vendor identification, evaluation, selection, and contracting.

• Manage tasks and dependencies; track progress and ensure adherence to timelines and milestones.

• Identify risks and define mitigation strategies; proactively manage and resolve issues to minimise project impact.

• Monitor and control cost to deliver within the approved budget, applying formal change control (Project Change Request) to any change in scope, timeline, or cost.

• Manage stakeholder expectations through regular status reviews and reporting; implement quality controls and run project reviews to capture lessons learned.

Required Skills & Certifications

• PMP certification (mandatory); Agile / Scrum certification highly desirable.

• 8+ years of project management experience, including running projects the Agile way, with a substantiated and verifiable delivery track record.

• Minimum 5 years project‑managing IT (software development) projects.

• Strong command of the full project lifecycle: planning, governance, risk and issue management, cost control, and formal change control.

• Bachelor's in Engineering (or similar) highly desirable; initial hands‑on software‑engineering experience an advantage.
