This newly created role offers exposure to everything from business acquisitions and systems implementations through to supply chain, manufacturing and operational improvement initiatives.
This is an excellent opportunity for a developing Project Manager who wants to take the next step in their career while being surrounded by experienced project professionals and senior business leaders.

Working closely with business sponsors and subject matter experts, you'll help deliver sustainable business outcomes while ensuring projects remain aligned to IXOM's strategic priorities.

- Experience working with Waterfall (ideal), Waterfall or hybrid project delivery methodologies.
- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
- PRINCE2, PMP or similar project management certification.
- Experience within manufacturing, supply chain, logistics or industrial environments.
- Qualifications in Business, Technology, Engineering or a related discipline would be good, but not essential.
