• Work closely with internal / external stakeholders and delivery partners to understand business requirements and drive forwards delivery at pace to expected quality.
• Appreciate the sensitivities that can come with people change projects

At GTR, we are committed to supporting our colleagues both professionally and personally. In return for your skills and dedication, we offer a competitive benefits package including:

• Final salary pension
• Free travel on GTR and sister groups for you and your family
• 75% off travel on other train operating companies for you, and leisure for your family
• Discounted Oyster Card
