At its core, this is an exciting and varied role focused on leading change initiatives within the Enterprise Technology Change team. As a senior project manager, you will be responsible for helping to drive the direction of the team, building our new processes and supporting strategic thinking. However, a core part of the role will also be to look across the enterprise technical landscape to surface areas of improvement or identify new projects or projects that are blocked and implement change programmes and initiatives to address them.
The role will report directly to the Director of Technology but requires collaboration and strong alignment with the Leadership Team and all other teams across the business.
