- Establish and facilitate evidence-based prioritisation processes, helping stakeholders make informed decisions based on business value and outcomes.
- Manage delivery through shared program and BAU resources, proactively planning capacity, negotiating trade-offs and escalating resource conflicts.
- Maintain clear scope boundaries and manage change control to ensure delivery remains aligned with agreed program objectives.
- Manage risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies and blockers, driving resolution and coordinating activities where required.
- Collaborate with other Delivery Leads to manage cross-program dependencies and maintain alignment across the broader transformation portfolio.
- Provide clear status reporting to senior stakeholders and contribute to program governance and steering forums.
- Coordinate release planning, cutover activities and business readiness with stakeholders
- Monitor delivery effort and costs against allocated budgets and capacity.
- Partner with Program Managers, Product Managers and business and technology SMEs to drive successful outcomes.

- Prioritisation and Commercial Acumen: Experience challenging competing demands, using data and business cases to support prioritisation and ensuring delivery effort is focused on the highest-value outcomes.

- Problem-Solving: A structured, solutions-focused approach, with the ability to bring clarity to ambiguous and unstructured environments.
