Responsibilities

- This is a delivery-focused leadership role requiring a solid understanding of finance and procurement business processes, application services, and service management, rather than deep technical expertise in any single platform.

- The role also drives opportunities for automation, shift-left, process optimisation, service improvement, and operational efficiency, while working closely with business, product, technical, and service management stakeholders to communicate priorities, risks, dependencies, progress, and outcomes.

- Governance, Risk Compliance - Drive strong governance across service performance, ticket quality, backlog, controls, audit readiness, application dependencies and delivery risks.
