In addition to the ERP programme you'll run a portfolio of smaller IT projects, from system upgrades and integrations and site rollouts at our processing plants.

Based at our Rose Park office and reporting directly to the CIO, you'll be comfortable moving between the boardroom, the finance team and the plant floor. You'll bring structure, accurate reporting and professional leadership to everything you deliver, by being able to influence stakeholders and to keep vendors, implementation partners and internal teams pulling in the same direction.

·       Significant IT project management experience, including leading large, multi-workstream programmes, preferably gained in an FMCG environment

·       Strong experience in ERP implementation projects, particularly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations

·       Experience leading and managing third-party implementation partners and vendors, including contract and change control

·       Able to lead and mentor project team members and business leads

·       Track record of managing multiple smaller projects at the same time as a major programme

·       Strong budget management, forecasting and financial reporting skills

·       Experience running formal governance, including steering committees, stage gates and RAID management
