Based within the central IT PMO, this role will lead the delivery of complex IT transformation initiatives that support both operational resilience and long-term strategic change.

* Working closely with technical teams in a Scrum/Agile delivery environment
* Providing clear, concise updates to senior stakeholders and governance forums
* Proactively managing delivery risks in a regulated utility setting, ensuring continuity of service
Qualifications
* Proven experience delivering IT transformation programmes in complex or regulated organisations
* Strong background in cloud and legacy system migrations, including post-migration optimisation
