• Coordinate planning and alignment with Technical Leads and Solution Architects
• Perform resource planning and allocation across projects
• Deliver structured reporting and status updates to leadership
• Track milestones, deliverables, and readiness for key events
• Ensure delivery assurance, quality, and timeline adherence across all projects

• Ensure integration and system readiness across multiple projects

• Oversee triage, debugging, and resolution of cross-project issues
• Own qualification and release validation activities

• Proven track record of leading execution across multiple teams and disciplines
• Demonstrated ability to operate with high autonomy in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Experience influencing technical direction, delivery strategy, and prioritisation at programme level
• Strong capability in risk management, trade-off decisions, and delivery optimisation
• Experience providing technical and execution leadership without requiring direct control of all resources
