A strong candidate for this role should look like a delivery PM who is comfortable running a technically dense, enterprise change programme with heavy environment, vendor and test dependencies. I would prioritise someone who has led platform upgrades, major release validation, or large-scale regression/smoke-test programmes where infrastructure readiness, software licensing, technical SMEs, test coordination and business communication all had to move in lockstep.
The strongest fit is likely someone who can:
turn an ambiguous "50/50 estimate" into disciplined execution through structured governance, milestones, RAID management and crisp decision escalation;
coordinate deeply technical teams without needing to be the architect, especially across environment, DBA, application, custom code and test workstreams;
manage external/vendor dependencies well, especially where licence delivery, release notes, product roadmap clarity and demo/education sessions with the vendor influence timing and stakeholder confidence;
handle execution under constrained capacity, including explicit prioritisation of BAU versus change, and explain trade-offs credibly to senior stakeholders;
translate a technical smoke test into executive decisions: whether to progress, pause, re-scope, or sequence follow-on capability work.
Drive prioritisation decisions and alignment with broader upgrade strategy
Provide concise executive updates with clear risks, decisions required, and next steps
demonstrate ETRM experience, preferably Endur
demonstrate knowledge of Trading & Supply landscape
