• Engage directly with vendors to ensure contract compliance and performance delivery meet our transformation objectives.
• Maintain deliberate and regular communication across all levels of the business to foster alignment, commitment, and successful change adoption.
• Monitor project governance frameworks, including issue management and change control, while providing high-level reporting to the leadership group.
• Facilitate strategic business case activities and report findings from trials to help guide our emerging market initiatives.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years in a similar role supporting large-scale business and technology transformation projects.
• Experience in the Retail Energy industry with specific experience in Customer Energy Resource (CER) integration (e.g., Virtual Power Plants, Demand Response, or EV integration) being highly regarded.
• Strong experience using Atlassian JIRA/Confluence or similar project management tools, alongside a solid understanding of PM methodologies.
• A natural ability to solve complex problems, influence others, and adapt quickly to changing requirements.
• Exceptional administration skills and the ability to provide clear, accurate reporting to senior stakeholders.
