• Maintain a clear understanding of the status, business impact, dependencies, risks and next actions for all assigned work.
• Assess and document operational, financial and user impact so that issues are prioritised by impact, urgency, deadlines and risk, not ticket volume alone.

Problem, Supplier and Continuous Improvement Management

• Identify recurring issues, support root cause analysis and ensure agreed corrective and preventative actions are progressed to completion.
• Manage assigned issues with third-party suppliers, provide complete evidence, challenge insufficient responses and escalations proactively while retaining internal ownership.
