  • Implement and maintain IT Service Management best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Apply Agile Project Management methodologies to ensure timely and efficient project delivery.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and vendors to ensure project objectives are met.
  • Monitor project progress, identify risks, and develop mitigation strategies.
  • Communicate project status, milestones, and deliverables to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Ensure compliance with organizational policies, security standards, and industry best practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement and innovation throughout the IT transition process.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 10+ years of experience in DevSecOps.
