About You
Are you someone who thrives on bringing structure to complexity while genuinely bringing people along for the journey? You've likely led IT or ERP projects where not everything went to plan – and you know how to reset, rebuild trust, and move things forward without losing momentum. You're confident navigating resistance, able to listen, influence, and create alignment, while also rolling up your sleeves to get into the detail when needed. You build strong relationships naturally, communicate with clarity, and balance people, process, and outcomes to deliver results. If you enjoy working across multiple stakeholders and making a real impact in a transformation environment, this is a role where you'll thrive.
