Job Description

You will drive the end-to-end planning, execution, governance, and successful delivery of IT and digital transformation initiatives. The role ensures that project objectives, operational requirements, and governance standards are consistently achieved, while fostering alignment across internal departments, external vendors, senior leadership, and key stakeholders. Success in this position requires the ability to bridge business and technology by collaborating effectively with technical teams, translating business needs into actionable solutions, and guiding implementation without requiring deep developer expertise. This role is expected to have excellent presentation skills, with proven experience in public engagement and delivering public speeches.

  • Track project risks, issues, dependencies, and mitigation strategies.

Reporting & Compliance

  • Ensure auditability and traceability for all project artefacts.
  • Provide updates on progress, budget, risks, and mitigation.
  • Ensure compliance with governance, procurement, and finance requirements.
  • Timely KPI reporting to Grant providers.

  • Working knowledge of Salesforce CRM capabilities, workflows, and integration points, with the ability to gather requirements and liaise with developers/administrators rather than perform hands-on configuration.
