• Translating complex needs into clear, high-quality user stories
• Managing scope, dependencies, and priorities to deliver value within constraints
• Building trusted relationships across delivery teams and client organisations
• Coaching and developing colleagues, supporting performance and growth
• Contributing to bids, proposals, and wider sales activity where needed
