• 6 - 8 years of experience in project management, specifically with a track record of end-to-end delivery of digital and technology projects.

• Hands-on experience executing projects across Agile, waterfall, and hybrid frameworks, including managing sprints, releases, and testing cycles (SIT/UAT).
• Ability to coordinate third-party vendors, systems integrators, and business analysts while ensuring requirements are captured and traceable.
• Proficiency with industry-standard delivery tools, including Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Confluence, and Power BI.
• Experience thriving in distributed or remote team settings, with strong resilience and skill in managing operational stakeholders.
• Familiarity with data protection and privacy obligations relevant to personal and project data, such as POPIA.
