  • Communicate progress through showcases, stand‑ups, and visual boards.
  • About you

  • Expertise in technology, systems, and process change.
  • Hands‑on experience with agile practices (SAFe preferred).
  • Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Azure DevOps.
  • Proven ability to create and execute business plans and roadmaps.
  • Strong background in business process optimisation.
