• Facilitate communication between workstreams and ensure documentation of key decisions.
• Ensure delivery remains on track and aligned to agreed timelines and objectives.

• Ability to work across multiple workstreams and manage complex stakeholder groups.
• Strong governance, risk management, and project tracking capabilities.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills with C-suite and senior stakeholders.
• Previous experience in divestment, carve-out, or M&A programmes highly desirable.
