Qualifications

• Substantial experience leading delivery or a transformation office on large, complex, technology-enabled programmes.
• Proven ability to run client governance independently, including escalation and challenging stakeholders.
• Depth in integrated planning, risk and dependency management, governance design and executive reporting.
• Experience managing a delivery team and assuring the quality of other people's work.

• Integrated planning: owning the plan across multiple workstreams and vendors, and keeping the critical path honest.
• Risk ownership: holding the programme-level risk picture and escalating to executive level with a position, not just a flag.
• Programme intelligence and executive reporting: owning what leadership sees, and using automated reporting to shape decisions rather than record them.
• Value definition and tracking: agreeing the value case with the client and proving whether benefits are landing.
• Programme recovery: diagnosing what has gone wrong when an engagement is off track and resetting the delivery trajectory, with a clear action plan and executive narrative.
• AI-led ways of working: reengineering delivery and governance around AI — including agentic delivery and AI-powered reinvention offices — and deploying our industrialised accelerators on client engagements.
• Team leadership: leading Consultants and Analysts, developing capability, and counselling members of the practice.
