• Provide regular reporting and assurance to senior leadership on organisational readiness, change risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans.
• Drive stakeholder engagement activities to build awareness, adoption, and commitment across impacted teams.
• Support transition planning and early-life stabilisation activities through effective reinforcement and change control measures.
• Manage competing priorities and change impacts across multiple programme workstreams.
