• Align programme delivery with corporate priorities, governance standards, and transformation objectives.
• Engage and influence stakeholders at all levels to drive successful business change.

• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proven track record of delivering digital platform programmes to time, cost, and quality standards.
• Experience with data migration, technical integration, and business change.
