  • Work with the client and the implementation team to plan the project and set up the project organisation according to Prince2 principles. 
  • Control and monitor project progress and billing, acting as the main point of contact with the client until the project is successfully completed.
  • Be responsible for forecasting resources and securing the revenue from successful achievement of project milestones as well as accurate forecasting of billings.
  • Reporting to and updating key internal stakeholders as to overall progress against performance targets.
  • Be highly visible to the client and third parties, including making a significant contribution to project board meetings
