• Help establish a technical agenda programme within the Technical Development Services department.
• Maintain the risk register and carry out impact analysis as needed.
• Support project governance forums and coordinate project status card updates with project leads and managers.
• Take on other assigned duties, including intern supervision if required.

What We Are Looking For

• More than 5 years of experience managing schedules for a portfolio of technical projects.
• Strong hands-on experience with project planning tools such as Microsoft Project, Planview, or similar software.
