• Manage RAID, delivery plans, milestones, and reporting, providing clear transparency on progress and risks
• Drive continuous improvement across delivery practices, team performance and client outcomes
• Support business development activities including estimates, delivery plans and input to proposals
• Mentor and coach team members, fostering high performance delivery cultures
