- Prepare high-quality executive-level materials including programme updates, dashboards, decision papers, and presentations for the CEO and leadership team.
Risk, Delivery & Change Management

- Monitor programme performance using appropriate frameworks, tools, and dashboards.
- Support change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, communications, and training where required, to ensure adoption and sustainability.
Other Strategic Initiatives
