• Own project plans, RAID logs, status reporting, and governance documentation
• Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture and data model standards
• Manage dependencies across internal engineering teams, business product owners, and third-party vendors
• Facilitate agile ceremonies, sprint reviews, and support delivery reporting (e.g., Jira/DevOps boards)
• Drive clear and consistent communication with all stakeholders, escalating blockers early
• Proactively manage risks, scope changes, and delivery challenges across distributed teams

Required Skills / Experience

• Proven experience delivering complex technical or integration projects, ideally involving microservices or APIs
• Strong background in integration delivery, ideally within retail, supply chain, or digital product systems
• Experienced in managing complex dependencies across business and IT teams
• Proven ability to manage third-party vendors and delivery partners
• Comfortable working with Agile teams and using tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills to work closely with technical leads and business owners
