Ensure effective management of suppliers and sub‑contractors, defining clear expectations around KPIs, ways of working, contractual obligations, and communication requirements.
Lead strategic meetings with internal and external stakeholders to maintain oversight of project status, budgets, risks, and required interventions.
Ensure business leaders are kept informed of project progress, pipeline activity, and budget impacts through timely and accurate reporting.
Proactively identify risks and implement mitigation plans in collaboration with senior stakeholders.
Lead the escalation management process, ensuring issues are addressed swiftly and effectively.
