Drive alignment across energy methodologies and reporting practices.
Support the creation of a common data dictionary and clear documentation of data requirements.
Build and manage project plans (using MS Project), tracking risks, milestones, and interdependencies.
Conduct stakeholder workshops and structured interviews to gather and validate business and technical requirements.
Model current and future-state processes using Visio and Confluence.
Maintain project governance artefacts including RAID logs, decision registers, and weekly status updates.
Escalate blockers and risks promptly while ensuring adherence to regulatory and internal governance standards.

Required Skills/Experience The ideal candidate will have the following:

Strong track record in hybrid Business Analyst / Project Manager roles delivering complex tech-enabled change.
Extensive experience with hardware and data centre asset management
Experience in planning and executing infrastructure decommissioning.
Proficient in managing multiple workstreams and cross-functional delivery teams.

Strong knowledge of MS Project, Visio, Confluence, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and facilitation skills across business and IT domains.
Ability to manage ambiguity and drive clarity in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

Desirable Skills/Experience Although not essential, the following skills are desired by the client:

Experience in sustainability, ESG, or Net Zero initiatives, particularly involving IT infrastructure or emissions reporting.
Background in banking or financial services environments with robust governance frameworks.
Familiarity with enterprise data governance and environmental reporting standards.
