About the Role & The IT Governance Ecosystem

In an enterprise as vast as Tiger Brands—managing complex multi-factory manufacturing, warehousing, corporate administration, and nationwide logistics networks—technology demands are massive and continuous. Every commercial business unit requires specific application updates, system rollouts, infrastructural expansions, and software configurations to maintain their competitive edge.

The position of IT Demand Management Administrator serves as the central control tower for this influx of technology requests. Rather than allowing requests to bypass governance, you will act as the single point of intake, ensuring that every project proposal is properly documented, categorized, and sized. Utilizing the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), you will actively support the portfolio coordination layers, bridging the gap between high-level business desires and real-world IT team capacities. From managing data configurations within Jira to orchestrating the logistical readiness for massive Program Increment (PI) planning sessions, your contribution ensures that Tiger Brands invests its engineering resources into the highest-yielding corporate priorities.

Employment Equity (EE) Integration Statement: In strict accordance with the strategic employment equity plan of Tiger Brands and its institutional diversity milestones, preference during this selection cycle may be granted, but is by no means limited, to qualified professionals hailing from under-represented designated demographic groups.

Key Responsibilities and Duties

1. Enterprise Demand Pipeline Management

• Serve as the central structural gatekeeper for logging all incoming enterprise IT project demand requests, ensuring absolute numerical and narrative accuracy within the tracking platform.

• Coordinate, track, and document the specific allocation of available resource capacities across engineering teams during continuous operational cycles.

• Collaborate regularly with cross-functional business units and technical leads to collect comprehensive requirement parameters, ensuring no structural project dependencies are missed prior to governance review.

• Enforce adherence to standardized corporate demand protocols, proactively flagging bottleneck risks, incomplete briefs, or pipeline deviations for management resolution.

2. Capacity Allocation & SAFe Alignment

• Work in direct alignment with the Enterprise Architecture Lead and portfolio stakeholders to verify that all technology requests correspond smoothly with overarching organizational priorities.

• Assist in managing the continuous flow of work items through the portfolio Kanban system, helping teams maintain optimal focus.

• Monitor and update the live demand pipeline dynamically to reflect sudden shifts in internal resource availability, hardware capacity boundaries, or commercial timeline pivots.

3. Stakeholder Communication & PI Planning Support

• Serve as the core operational liaison between corporate business units, active project delivery teams, and central IT departments to manage expectations regarding delivery timelines.

• Provide direct administrative and analytical support for the execution of Program Increment (PI) planning sessions, delivering clear data regarding demand priorities versus team velocity baselines.

• Facilitate educational discussions and clarity loops for business users, helping them navigate and understand internal IT governance processes seamlessly.

4. Process Optimization & Enterprise Reporting

• Identify structural friction points within the intake pipeline, implementing administrative enhancements to streamline project request processing.

• Generate and distribute actionable status reports for the executive scorecard, keeping leadership updated on pipeline volumes, lifecycle speeds, and capacity constraints.

What You Will Bring to the Table

Minimum Educational Background

• A completed, relevant tertiary qualification in Business Administration, Project Management, Information Technology, or a closely associated commercial field.

• Professional certifications in modern agile frameworks (such as SAFe Scrum Master, SAFe Product Owner, or formal Agile PMO credentials) will be viewed as a massive competitive advantage.

Professional Experience Requirements

• A minimum of 3 years of direct experience working in IT project demand management, PMO administration, or agile project coordination.

• Direct experience operating within the FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) or CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) industry is highly preferred.

• Practical familiarity with the execution mechanics of the SAFe methodology, specifically holding hand-on experience navigating Program Increment (PI) planning loops.

Technical Skills & Software Mastery

• Advanced proficiency inside specialized project management software, with a strong emphasis on Jira administration, Confluence documentation, or alternative enterprise Kanban platforms.

• Excellent digital literacy across the entire Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and MS Teams).

• Superb verbal and written communication skills to articulate complex technical constraints to non-technical business leaders clearly.
