Software Project Manager

Anthesis is maturing rapidly and needs an execution-focused, action-orientated individual to join a small but growing PMO team in the Group Technology function, reporting to the Lead IT Project Manager (who oversees the Project Management function) and periodically engaging with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

You will coordinate initiatives across the organization including smaller planned work items as well as dedicated projects for strategic priorities.

You will be responsible for planning, executing, and delivering projects on time, within scope, and within budget, and for bridging the gap between IT and business stakeholders by analyzing business processes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and translating business requirements into technical solutions.

You will not simply be a coordinator or planner, but someone who is hands-on and makes progress happen.

You will be more concerned with outcomes and benefits rather than rigid alignment to project management methodologies and processes.
