• Act as a trusted advisor and escalation point for significant programme and delivery matters
• Ensure strong governance, effective risk management and high-quality reporting across the portfolio
• Develop resource and capability plans that enable the team to respond to changing business needs
• Champion effective change management and stakeholder engagement, helping colleagues embrace new ways of working
• Embed a commercially focused approach to delivery, ensuring programmes are delivered efficiently and provide tangible value
