• Strong financial control, including budgeting, forecasting and resource management
• Experience leading technical teams in Agile and waterfall environments
• Confidence managing senior stakeholders and juggling more than one project

Nice to have: PRINCE2, MSP, PMP, Scrum or similar, GDS knowledge, and some understanding of AI, as it’s coming up more and more with clients.

Why it’s worth a look

• A senior role with real influence in a growing consultancy
• Plenty of variety across different public sector clients and projects
• Fixed term until March 2027, with the clear aim of going permanent in April
• Hybrid working from a modern office in north Cardiff
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, pension, life insurance and 24/7 GP access
