* Define and deliver detailed programme plans, dependencies, and tracking
* Ensure effective governance, stakeholder alignment, and risk control throughout

* Proven experience delivering people and operating model transformation in large, complex organisations
* Background in HR, people change, or enterprise operations

* Exceptional programme planning and stakeholder management skills
* Experience working with enterprise cost efficiency or sourcing strategies
* A structured, proactive, and delivery-minded approach
