• Engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders, ensuring clarity of outcomes, roles, responsibilities and delivery priorities.
• Coordinate delivery with external suppliers and internal teams to manage interdependencies, resolve blockers and maintain momentum.
• Maintain delivery artefacts and “single source of truth” documentation using agreed project tooling (including enterprise/project management tools as applicable).
  
• Support governance, assurance, and timely progress reporting, highlighting decisions needed and the impact of changes on scope, time and cost.
