    Drive project planning and forecasting, and alignment with project timelines and constraints; working with a portfolio of stakeholders and Project Managers to ensure that milestone plans and resource plans are maintained and up to date.

    Influence and manage stakeholder relationships, to ensure projects get delivered to time, cost and scope.

    Maintain effective financial and project progress reporting, ensuring frequent revenue and cost tracking of customer requirements, with regular analysis as appropriate.

    Supporting project governance – ensure that either personally or a Project Manager prepares all relevant documentation, ensuring that each project fulfils weekly and monthly reporting, decision logging, and budget tracking.

    Quality assurance - ensure projects satisfy quality assurance controls and gateways, both internal and external.

    Prepare and submit regular project progress reports, e.g., current project status, budget and resource tracking, to agreed governance forums.

    Work with the Programme Management Office and business change colleagues to create and maintain management governance frameworks.

    At project closure ensure that project documentation is complete, and that lessons learned can be applied to future projects.
