Activities will include the full end-to-end project management from business requirements definition, process analysis, tender management and supplier selection, process design & implementation, management of the appointed consultants, liaising with Information Services and Human Resources, testing, training, and cutover. The post holder will be able to understand, translate, and articulate, business requirements into deliverables.
