• Lead, coach and develop regional delivery resources and virtual workstream leads, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, innovation and execution excellence


• Maintain regional delivery governance and portfolio visibility, including pipeline tracking, prioritisation, risk management and leadership reporting
