• Maintain sport programme tracking systems, databases, action registers and reporting processes to monitor planning progress, risks, issues and key decisions.
• Work collaboratively with functional areas including Venues, Villages, Commercial, Finance, Procurement, Legal, Technology and Communications to support integrated Games planning outcomes.
• Support sport programme projects and initiatives as directed by the Sport Programme Manager, including cross‑functional planning and readiness activities.
