- Coordinate several projects running at the same time
- Manage shared resources and help teams navigate dependencies and competing priorities
- Support project managers to hit milestones and deliver high-quality outcomes
- Keeping things on track
- Own the program budget and make sure funding is used where it matters most
- Spot risks early and put practical mitigation plans in place
- Ensure work is delivered to agreed scope, time, cost, and quality
- Partnering with stakeholders
- Be the go-to person between delivery teams and senior leadership
- Provide clear, concise updates on progress, risks, and key decisions
- Prepare steering committee packs and regular program reports
- Supporting change and improvement
- Work closely with the Change Manager to support communication, engagement, and adoption
- Capture lessons learned and continuously improve how the program is delivered
- Share knowledge and help lift capability across the broader program team
