• Work closely with project managers, technical specialists, QA, infrastructure teams, and external vendors to keep environments available and suitable for use.
• Review environment usage and suggest changes that improve efficiency and lower operational risk.
• Set up reporting and governance routines, and provide regular progress updates to programme stakeholders.

• Proven ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders across technology, infrastructure, and business functions.
• Comfort managing competing priorities in fast-moving programme settings.
• Strong communication, organisation, and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable experience

• Background supporting large digital transformation or enterprise technology initiatives.
