Problem-Solving & Issue Resolution: Proactively identify systemic delivery challenges, resolve high-impact issues, and restore momentum across teams.
Process Improvement: Drive continuous improvement across planning and execution, embedding standard processes that improve flow, efficiency, and outcomes at scale.
Collaborator Communication: Partner with senior technical and non-technical collaborators to enable alignment, transparency, and informed decision-making.
Facilitate Agile Practices: Champion and evolve Agile and hybrid delivery practices, supporting teams and leaders to operate effectively in changing environments.
Data & Insights: Define and use meaningful delivery metrics and insights to inform prioritisation, governance, and continuous improvement.

Extensive experience in planning, delivery leadership, or operational excellence within sophisticated, technology-driven environments
Deep understanding of Agile, Lean, and continuous improvement principles, with the ability to apply them pragmatically
Proven ability to lead planning across multiple teams, streams, or portfolios
Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience engaging senior leaders and executives
Excellent systems thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making capability
Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving clarity where none exists
A track record of improving delivery outcomes through better planning, alignment, and execution
