• Provide clear direction to team members and ensure outputs meet the required quality standards.
• Define and track expected benefits and return on investment, including both financial and non-financial measures.
• Work effectively across multiple transformation initiatives and business areas, adapting the approach to the nature and complexity of the work.
• Work collaboratively with Project Management, Change, Technology, Data and other teams where broader transformation support is required.

People, Capability & Technology

• Lead, coach and develop junior members of the team, providing direction, constructive feedback and support with their development.
• Share process improvement knowledge and support the development of Lean and continuous improvement capability across the team.
• Identify opportunities to use technology, automation, data and AI to enable process improvement and work with relevant specialists to take these opportunities forward.
• Keep up to date with developments in process transformation, technology and continuous improvement methodologies and bring relevant ideas into the team.
• Contribute to the continued development of the team’s methodologies, tools, templates and ways of working.
