- Co-ordinate cross-team dependencies and escalate risks and issues to authority representatives.
- Own the formal work package response process including time, cost, and resource planning in collaboration with the technical lead.
- Maintain delivery artefacts including GDS governance checklists, progress reports, and risk registers.
- Support resource scaling decisions, working with the supplier resourcing team to adjust team composition in line with demand.
- Facilitate onboarding of new team members and manage knowledge transfer during work package transitions.
- Provide regular reporting to client covering delivery status, risks, SLA performance, and improvement actions.
- Ensure all working practices comply with client Ways of Working standards and Technology Code of Practice.
