  • Produce high‑quality programme reporting, including weekly/monthly status packs, dashboards and RAID updates, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
  • Facilitate planning workshops and schedule reviews, constructively challenging assumptions and driving clarity on next steps.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions and escalate issues when needed.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, work under pressure and meet reporting deadlines.

Nice to have:

  • Experience supporting large‑scale system or business transformation programmes, ideally in regulated or public‑sector environments.
  • Understanding of change and implementation planning.
  • Knowledge of RAID management or related delivery controls.
What we offer:
  • 26 days holiday per year, increasing to 30 with the length of service (plus bank holidays)
  • Performance-related pay plan directly linked to company performance measures and targets.
