  • Coordinating internal technical resources and service partners to deliver milestones
  • Maintaining alignment between operational resilience and transition timelines
  • Providing clear reporting, risk management and documentation for executive oversight

About You!

You’ll bring:

  • Demonstrated experience leading ICT transition or MSP migration projects
  • Strong knowledge of ITIL frameworks, Essential Eight compliance and operational assurance
  • Hands-on understanding of end-user compute, cloud, network, and security platforms
  • Excellent vendor management, stakeholder engagement and communication skills
