• Provide productive challenge to programme teams to ensure delivery plans, governance and execution remain robust, realistic and aligned to intended outcomes.
• Support the development of clear outcomes, benefits, value cases, success measures and KPIs for programmes where these are not yet mature.
• Help identify dependency clashes, gaps and areas of misalignment between programmes, escalating these into portfolio planning and governance.
• Ensure programmes remain aligned to wider transformation initiatives, portfolio priorities and related change activity, helping teams understand where their work connects and where decisions or dependencies need to be joined up.
• Provide targeted support where needed to help structure scope, shape delivery plans, progress actions or clarify value, while ensuring ownership remains with the accountable business owners.
• Build strong, collaborative relationships with stakeholders across the business, transformation teams and programme communities to support joined-up delivery, clear communication and shared ownership of outcomes.
• Operate independently within the Transformation team, while actively collaborating with colleagues where needed to share insight, align approaches and support a consistent experience for stakeholders and programme teams.
