• Coordinate with business stakeholders, customers, delivery teams, and subject matter experts to gather requirements, resolve queries, and facilitate decision-making.
• Monitor the progress of requests from initiation through to production, tracking milestones, identifying blockers, and escalating issues where required.
• Produce and maintain management reports, dashboards, and presentation materials to provide visibility of demand pipelines, status updates, and key metrics.
• Support governance activities by ensuring demand requests follow agreed processes, standards, and approval workflows.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve demand management processes, documentation, and ways of working to increase efficiency and service quality.
