    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including marketing and comms, digital and technology solutions, finance, legal and commercial and information security to ensure XR projects meet business goals and user requirements.
    • Stay abreast of the latest XR technologies and industry trends, incorporating best practices and innovations into our projects.
    • Manage budgets, timelines and resources ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope.
    • Cultivate relationships with technology partners, vendors, and external stakeholders to enhance our capabilities and market position.
