• Take proactive action to resolve delivery challenges and drive performance improvements where required.

Provide Commercial Leadership & Assurance

Build Strong Partnerships & Governance

• Establish effective ways of working between supplier and authority teams.
• Define governance structures, escalation routes, performance expectations and accountability frameworks.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across policy, commercial, legal and operational functions to maintain alignment and delivery confidence.

Lead Transition to Live Service

• Ensure the service is fully operational, compliant and ready for successful go-live.
• Oversee a controlled transition from mobilisation into business-as-usual contract management.
• Ensure effective handover of operational, performance and contract management arrangements.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement across future programmes.

• Proven experience managing complex service contracts, including mobilisation, implementation or transition phases.
• Ability to work independently in complex, fast-moving environments with evolving priorities and ambiguity.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills.
