• Manage change control throughout the transition phase, ensuring all changes are assessed, approved and implemented effectively.
  
• Monitor transition progress, providing regular reporting to senior leadership on milestones, risks, budget, resource requirements and overall programme health.
  
• Support lessons learned activities and continuous improvement initiatives following successful service transition.

• Significant experience managing complex transition, mobilisation or service handover projects.
