• Establish effective governance, reporting, performance metrics and risk management to track progress, manage issues, and support timely decision-making on strategic priorities.
• Deliver sustainable people, process and technology change by applying structured change management and ensuring smooth transition of outcomes into business-as-usual (BAU).
• Own programme financials by building budgets, monitoring spend and producing robust cost/benefit and ROI analysis to maximise value from group investment.
• Define, track, and analyse key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics related to project delivery, outcomes and benefits.

• Confidence building and leading cross-functional teams, with the presence to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Proven leadership skills with demonstrable experience of establishing and managing cross functional programme and project teams, with a willingness to delve into detailed delivery if required.
• Change management capability, able to land people, process and technology change, manage resistance, and transition outcomes into BAU.
• A data-led, analytical approach, including defining and using KPIs, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks.
