Project manager delivering high-volume public-sector projects with measurable results.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly competent and organised Project Manager with experience delivering high-volume public-sector projects, using hybrid agile and waterfall approaches to meet stakeholder needs and tight deadlines. I consistently meet and exceed delivery targets, manage multiple concurrent workstreams, and deliver repeatable, high-volume solutions across diverse business units.
I have led end-to-end implementations, large upgrade programs, and cloud migration initiatives while overseeing forecasting, data migrations (including SSIS), scheduling and out-of-hours support to minimise customer impact. I create and standardise project documentation, work cross-functionally with development and infrastructure teams, and drive process improvements to support efficient, auditable delivery.
