Strong commercial awareness with experience operating robust governance, stakeholder management and change control processes.
Demonstrable experience leading multi-disciplinary teams and coordinating multiple delivery partners.
Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the confidence to engage and present at senior stakeholder level.
Flexibility and willingness to travel to the Preston or Lancashire area as required.
