• Follow up with cross-functional teams based on requirements and deadlines to help maintain steady project progress.
• Prepare and share regular progress updates for stakeholders, covering achievements, risks, issues, and recommended next steps.
• As required, create and keep committee packs and other project documents up to date, with clear and accurate content.

Exposure to Recovery and Resolution Planning is preferred. The candidate should also have solid experience creating BRDs and other project documentation, coordinating across teams, supporting project managers, and managing stakeholders.

Working style and tools

You should bring strong analytical and problem-solving ability, work confidently on your own, and stay effective under pressure while meeting deadlines. Excellent communication, organisation, prioritisation, and documentation skills are essential. Experience with committee packs, UAT planning, and stakeholder progress reporting is expected. Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio is required, while familiarity with Power BI, Alteryx or similar tools, JIRA, Confluence, and Microsoft Project would be an advantage.
