• Facilitate governance discussions, document decisions, assumptions, and action plans, and ensure agreed actions are implemented consistently.
• Identify opportunities for process optimization, continuous improvement, and digital enablement, promoting best practices across the GBS organization.
• Take accountability for stakeholder alignment, quality and timeliness of deliverables, and proactive identification, management, and escalation of delivery risks.

Requirements:
