• Managing risks, dependencies and issues, and keeping stakeholders informed throughout.
• Checking technical designs, configurations and interfaces before they move forward.
• Improving delivery processes, standards and governance, and finding ways to reduce technical debt.
What we’re looking for

• Experience managing third-party suppliers and software vendors.
• A good understanding of systems integration, APIs, environments and release management.
• Comfortable working in Agile and with formal change governance.
• A structured approach to planning, dependency management and risk.
