• Undertaking critical path analysis, risk assessments and mitigation planning
• Chairing programme workshops and planning meetings
• Monitoring progress and identifying corrective actions where required
• Producing programme reports for senior leadership and client teams
• Managing programme quality, logic and reporting standards throughout the project lifecycle
