You're a passionate Agile practitioner excited about taking Save the Children, who is relatively new to agile, on the agile project management journey. You have demonstratable operational planning skills. Strategic, but still amply able to roll your sleeves up and lead a project through all stages. You thrive on developing collaborative relationships and are equally comfortable supporting a project team as you are working with senior executives. You're a leader with experience coaching partially allocated team members who have little agile experience.

Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit.

We're ambitious, creative and outspoken. We stand up for children's rights. We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence. We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there's a disaster - like an earthquake, drought or conflict - we are there on the ground.

The portfolio is central to driving strategic change and innovation. It incorporates a variety of small and large-scale projects delivering everything from system implementations and process improvement through to business model diversification and mergers and acquisitions.

• Working with a diverse range of stakeholders to deliver improvements aligned to their departmental Objectives and Key Results
• Driving the delivery of strategic outcomes leveraging your Agile operating model skills
• Identifying issues, risks, and benefits of existing and proposed solutions and outline business impacts

Does this sound like you?

You have a proven track record in delivering critical and complex projects with the ability to bring creative solutions and process improvements to the table. You are an adaptable, highly organised all-rounder, with a high level of attention to detail and a collaborative and can-do manner.
