• Liaison with Vendor: Work alongside the vendor to schedule and coordinate training (training will be delivered by the vendor).

• Stakeholder Engagement: Connect with both technical teams and policy stakeholders to align efforts and ensure successful adoption.

• Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement ways to drive adoption, improve tooling rollout, and expand the programme over time.

Ideal Candidate:

• Technical Experience: Solid understanding of secret management, machine-to-machine authentication, or similar identity/access management domains.

• Hands-On Background: Experience having implemented or worked on related projects – understanding what developers need to do to successfully adopt such solutions.

• Project Coordination Skills: Strong organisational and project management ability; able to coordinate parallel streams of work across multiple teams.

• Proactive & Self-Driven: Comfortable taking ownership and making progress independently within a lean structure.

• Strong Communicator: Able to clearly convey technical processes in a developer-friendly manner, and keep stakeholders informed.

• Collaborative Mindset: Works well across departments, including technical teams, policy leads, and third-party vendors.
