• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, partners and internal stakeholders

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience working across projects or programmes, including both smaller and larger-scale initiatives
• Strong project coordination, programme delivery or service delivery experience
• Experience managing risks, issues, deadlines and competing priorities
• Excellent stakeholder and client relationship management skills
• Strong planning and organisational skills with the ability to manage several workstreams simultaneously
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach
• Strong attention to detail and confidence producing project documentation and reports
• The ability to adapt quickly when priorities or programme requirements change
