About You

• Minimum 5+ years’ experience delivering business-led projects, preferably within financial services or superannuation
• Proven track record managing projects involving system transitions or business process change
• Solid understanding of superannuation administration systems highly regarded
• Experienced in stakeholder management, with the ability to manage challenging personalities and third parties
