* Monitoring progress against plans and ensuring timely intervention when deviations occur
* Supporting scenario planning and reforecasting to maintain delivery control and transparency
* Facilitating governance forums with clear reporting on planning status, risks, and decision points
* Driving continuous improvement in planning practices through lessons learned and trend analysis
What You’ll Bring To The Role

* Strong communication skills to engage senior stakeholders and challenge planning assumptions constructively
* Financial and commercial awareness to support forecasting, benefit tracking, and supplier performance management
* Ability to empower delivery teams and suppliers to build credible plans, while ensuring timely escalation of risks and delivery challenges
Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.
