About you
To be successful in the role, you’ll have:
Previous experience as a Project Manager working across enterprise-wide projects. Risk and assurance project experience is strongly preferred.
Experience in Scrum/Agile Project Management including supporting and empowering teams in an agile environment is essential
Proven ability to lead projects ensuring objectives, goals, and commitments are met

We believe a diverse workforce supported by an inclusive culture is central to our success and we actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity of thought to our business. We support candidate requests for adjustment to accommodate an illness, injury, or disability to equitably participate in the selection process.
