Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the day-to-day execution of high-priority projects, ensuring they are aligned with CRC and Ubisoft’s objectives.
• Partner with Strategic Solutions to ensure a robust project and portfolio ecosystem that clearly feeds into the CRC Objectives and Strategies.
• Facilitate regular project reviews, status updates, and reporting mechanisms that allow senior leadership to monitor progress against key organisational KPIs.
• Collaborate with other departments and stakeholders to ensure project dependencies are identified and managed effectively.
• Ensure project documentation is complete, accurate, and stored in the appropriate systems (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint).
• Establish clear metrics for measuring project success, ensuring that all projects feed into larger programmes aimed at enhancing player experience and operational efficiency.
• Offer mentorship and guidance to junior project team members, encouraging development and upskilling.
• Provide project management as a service on a consultancy basis to other departments and teams as requested.

Skills and Experience:

• Proven Project Management Experience: 5+ years in a project management role, ideally within a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment.
• PMO Experience: Experience working within a PMO framework, with the ability to champion process improvements and governance.
• Leadership & Initiative: Strong leadership skills with the ability to direct complex discussions with multiple stakeholders and deliver significant impact through project outcomes.
