- Drive the development of programme KPI reporting and dashboards, providing clear visibility of programme health, delivery status, financial performance, engineering releases, sourcing activities, feature maturity and overall readiness against key milestones.
- Ensure Engineering Business Office procedures and reporting standards remain aligned with company quality requirements.
- Lead the successful rollout, communication and training of new ways of working across the organisation.
- Manage and develop the Process team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration and delivery excellence.
