- Has experience with navigating departmental processes related to ICT systems, corporate services, procurement, and contracts management.
- Has technical understanding of ICT systems, infrastructure, and security to undertake research and formulate recommendations to support project planning and decision making.
- Has experience in developing and implementing strategies and tools for the continuous monitoring and evaluation of projects, including risk, and contingency management, benefits realisation, and project impact and quality measures, to identify and address issues and assess project progress on overall effectiveness.
- Has experience authoring briefs and presenting project outcomes and issues, providing recommendations to resolve issues to executives and governance committees.
