Project Manager - Scrum Master
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 23, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 22, 2026.
Job Summary
The PM will proactively identify delivery risks and cross-team dependencies, facilitate resolution and escalate where required. The role will also coordinate readiness across requirements, solution/design, development, testing, business validation and deployment activities as applicable.
The consultant is expected to provide hands-on delivery leadership rather than primarily administrative project support, creating the structure and momentum required to move the initiative from planning through successful implementation.

* Maintain the integrated project plan, milestones and critical path.
* Coordinate deliverables and dependencies across business, product, data and technology teams.
* Track actions, risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies and proactively drive them to closure.
* Facilitate project working sessions, planning meetings, governance forums and decision-making discussions.
Key Responsibilities
* Follow up with workstream owners to ensure commitments and milestones remain on track.
* Identify potential schedule or delivery risks early and establish mitigation/recovery actions.
* Prepare concise project status and decision material for senior stakeholders and governance forums.
* Coordinate testing, business readiness and deployment planning across relevant teams.
* Maintain clear documentation of key decisions, scope changes and agreed actions.
* Support prioritisation and resolution of cross-functional issues affecting overall project delivery.
Strong experience managing complex digital/technology transformation projects in a large global organisation.
* Proven end-to-end project management experience covering planning, execution, testing/readiness and implementation.
* Demonstrated ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams, cross-team dependencies, risks and critical milestones.
* Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience working with senior business and technology stakeholders.
* Ability to translate complex delivery situations into clear plans, decisions, risks and executive-level communication.
* Strong ownership and execution mindset with the ability to proactively drive teams and actions to closure.
Skill Requirements
* Experience working across business, product, data and technology teams in a matrix organisation.
* Strong knowledge of Agile/hybrid delivery approaches and project governance.
Desired
* Experience in retail, omnichannel, finance/performance management or management reporting transformations.
* Experience with data, analytics, planning or enterprise reporting programmes.
* Experience working in geographically distributed/global teams.
* Ability to operate effectively in an environment with evolving requirements and multiple organisational dependencies.
