This role demands a strong focus on risk management, ensuring the integrity, availability, and security of our systems.
You'll be the driving force behind a crucial initiative, with a balanced focus on strategic programme delivery and high-impact stakeholder management, particularly within our core finance department. You will ensure project quality and governance processes are followed and that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
