* Develop and maintain a comprehensive project plan, aligned to strategic objectives, with defined scope, deliverables, timelines and resource requirements.
* Identify, manage and assess project risks, issues and dependencies, ensuring minimal impact to delivery.
* Manage the day‑to‑day project operations, ensuring the project adheres to Primark’s standards set by Planning, Architecture, Engineering, Service, Cyber and Governance, Risk & Compliance with dependencies built into the plan.
* Lead and motivate multi‑disciplinary teams, clarifying roles and responsibilities to achieve the project objectives.
What You’ll Bring
* 5+ years of relevant experience in project, programme & portfolio management.
* Proven track record of successfully delivering high‑quality results against a defined scope, timeline, budget and quality standard.
