They lead from the front with confidence, decisiveness and ownership. They are adept at engaging senior stakeholders, managing competing priorities, and ensuring alignment with business objectives. This includes a strong understanding of PMO frameworks and methodologies to manage complex projects, with hands on experience in planning, executing and delivering projects on time, within budget and to the required standards. The candidate is skilled at handling multiple projects, fostering cross functional collaboration, and operating in evolving or newly formed teams with minimal established structure.
