  • A degree or diploma in IT, with a recognised project management certification (PMP or similar)
  • 10+ years of IT experience, including at least 5 years in software development before moving into project management
  • Strong knowledge of SDLC processes, from concept to deployment
  • Hands-on experience applying both Agile and traditional methodologies, with exposure to Scrum preferred
  • Familiarity with tools such as JIRA and Confluence
  • Experience in financial services or insurance will be an advantage

Skills that will help you succeed here:

  • Clear, confident communication and the ability to influence across all levels
  • Strong facilitation and stakeholder management skills
  • Financial and business awareness to back project decisions
  • Comfort managing complexity while keeping teams aligned and motivated
  • A mindset that values collaboration, adaptability, and continuous learning

If you enjoy managing diverse projects, balancing structure with flexibility, and working closely with both technical and business stakeholders, this is a great opportunity to do so in a high-impact environment.
