- Monitor project health using metrics, KPIs, and reporting structures to provide leadership with clear, actionable insights.
- Present updates, proposals, and recommendations confidently to senior management, advocating for the perspectives and needs of the project team.
- Continuously assess emerging risks, evaluating impact and likelihood, and work with stakeholders to implement mitigation and contingency plans.
- Support analysis, planning, and change activities to help teams make informed decisions and adopt new ways of working.
- Own professional development, identifying skill gaps and pursuing growth opportunities aligned with role and business needs.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of PMO standards, tools, and ways of working.
Skills & Expertise
- 4+ years’ experience leading complex, cross-functional projects or programs in fast-paced, international environments; experience in digital marketing or e-commerce is a plus.
- Project Management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) or relevant degree with applied knowledge of advanced methodologies, tools, and best practices.
- Able to adapt your approach to different project environments, balancing structure with a practical, delivery-focused mindset.
- Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills, with proven experience in managing distributed teams and navigating diverse personalities to foster collaboration.
- Confident communicator, able to present ideas clearly and contribute to discussions with a range of stakeholders, including executive leadership.
- Analytical and strategic thinker, able to tackle complex and ambiguous challenges, synthesize information, assess options and propose pragmatic solutions even when no clear path exists.
- Able to break down problems, assess options, and suggest pragmatic next steps, even when things are not fully defined.
- Attention to detail and documentation whilst comfortably keeping a benefit-orientated, holistic view of progress.
- Self-driven, accountable, and resilient under pressure, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt in dynamic environments.
- Models a feedback-driven culture, actively seeking input to improve delivery and leadership effectiveness.
- Curious and proactive about learning new technologies, particularly AI; hands-on AI proficiency is a plus.
- Proficient in MS Office; experience with project management tools such as Asana is desirable.
- Fluent in written and spoken English.
You won't have all those skills. You won't have all that experience. But perfect is the enemy of good enough. If you think your skills and experience are a good fit for the role we describe, we'd love to hear from you.
