- Follow Novelis PMO governance, project lifecycle, stage gates, reporting, documentation, and change-control processes.
- Manage project financials, including budgets, actuals, forecasts, commitments, variances, and partner expenditures.
- Proactively identify and manage risks, issues, dependencies, critical-path activities, scope changes, and escalations.
- Coordinate stakeholders across business, IT, data, executive leadership, and external partners.
- Integrate change management, communications, training, stakeholder engagement, business readiness, and adoption into the project plan.
- Lead teams through changes to technology, business processes, data ownership, governance, stewardship, and ways of working.
- Prepare and present executive and steering committee updates covering project status, business impacts, risks, decisions, and recommendations.
