You will be:
- leading large, complex software programs for international clients, from initiation through full delivery, with end-to-end accountability for outcomes,
- defining and owning program governance, including decision-making structures, escalation paths, and reporting frameworks,
- overseeing multi-stream program delivery, ensuring milestones are achieved within agreed timelines, scope, and budget,
- managing dependencies and alignment across internal delivery teams and selected external partners,
- proactively identifying program-level risks, defining mitigation strategies, and driving corrective actions where required,
- establishing and executing structured change management processes, ensuring full traceability between requirements, scope, budget, and contractual agreements,

- mentoring and supporting Delivery Managers, ensuring alignment with program goals, delivery standards, and ways of working,

- experience managing distributed, multinational teams and collaborating with external vendors or partners,
- strong communication, facilitation, and negotiation skills, particularly in complex stakeholder environments,
- a high level of ownership and decisiveness, with the ability to operate independently and make informed trade-off decisions,
- a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset with a focus on outcomes rather than process for its own sake,
