• Manage cross-team and third-party dependencies, aligning schedules, release activities, and handovers to reduce delivery risk and ensure smooth implementation.
• Track delivery progress using appropriate tools and dashboards, maintaining accurate reporting across timelines, risks, resource considerations, and delivery performance.
• Identify and escalate issues early, agreeing mitigating actions, owners, and dates, and working with relevant stakeholders to maintain progress and minimise disruption.
• Promote strong delivery practices and continuous improvement, using retrospectives, feedback, and performance insights to improve ways of working, collaboration, and throughput over time.
