- Establish governance processes for the workstreams including risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAIDs).
- Ensure compliance with programme governance, information security, and change control requirements.
- Manage budgets, forecasts, and actual costs, providing transparent reporting to all stakeholders.
- Build strong relationships with HR leadership, partners, and stakeholders, facilitating workshops, planning sessions, and governance forums.
