• Produce high-quality dashboards, reports, and insights using Planview, ADO, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Lead the creation and curation of executive SteerCo decks, simplifying complex delivery data into clear, outcome-focused messaging.
• Support governance forums by providing accurate, timely updates on progress, risks, issues, and dependencies.
• Generate forward-looking insights and recommendations to improve forecasting, delivery confidence, and resource utilisation.
• Act as a coach and planning SME, supporting Delivery Leads to improve plan structure, quality, estimation, and dependency management.
• Provide guidance on planning best practices, standards, and tools to uplift capability across all value streams.
• Champion the adoption of consistent planning processes and templates across the programme.
