• Manage full project lifecycle delivery, including requirements definition, design, build, test, deployment, data migration, cutover, and post-implementation support.
• Demonstrate strong organizational capability, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously at different stages of delivery.
• Provide clear, concise, and confident communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Deliver executive-level reporting and governance, including steering committees, RAID management, financial tracking, and benefits realization.
• Drive internal world-wide teams and external suppliers to maintain momentum, resolve dependencies, and deliver against agreed milestones.
• Lead information security-related initiatives, with a proven track record of delivering security controls, compliance, and risk remediation projects.
• Deliver infrastructure and platform projects across server infrastructure, VMware, networking, cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and end-user computing, including integration with enterprise 
  applications.
• Apply Project Management best practices using Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid methodologies, defining workstreams, sprints, release plans, and tracking delivery progress.
• Operate effectively in a remote and hybrid working environment, managing geographically dispersed teams.
• Be based from our Atlanta office, with flexibility to support stakeholder engagement as required.
