These are additional nice to haves:

• Experience working with senior stakeholders, including Programme Leads, Engineering Directors, and cross-functional teams

• Strong analytical and reporting capability, including use of PMO tools

• Proficiency with Jira and Confluence

• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive approach to work

• Ability to influence without authority and drive clarity in ambiguous situations

• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex messages for different audiences
