Managing implementations in the digital sector combines established tools and techniques with the unique challenges of technology. Whilst the introduction of some Agile practices may even remove the word ‘project’ from the language being used, the principle of controlling time, cost, and quality will always remain. We recognise that projects differ from programmes, yet many of the skills required are often transferrable between the two.   

T&T are looking for people with the flexibility to adapt between traditional methodologies and those that have and are becoming commonplace. Who can work through the whole lifecycle, or merely jump into one part of it to help our clients achieve both the outputs and the outcomes that they are looking for.  

You may have the following skills, but not limited to, Project Management, Project Controls, Risk Management, Information Assurance, Business Change, Communication & engagement, Business Analysis, Delivery Management, and Product Owner/life cycle management.
