The role works across the value-chain with a view on products, services, processes, and systems.
This important role also coordinates projects, conducts research and analysis, and prepares reports or communications. Other areas of focus may include driving the identification and implementation of process improvements, policies, and procedures, managing relationships with various teams, and serving in an advisory capacity to leadership or other stakeholders.

**Operational project delivery.**
- As relevant, translate operational ad hoc requests into workable short and long term ‘project’ approaches and outputs to frame the problem statement, identified activities, roles and responsibilities, timeline, and primary milestones.
- Create project status reports and ongoing status updates to senior stakeholders.

- Coordinating, assigning, and driving project team activities to ensure project objectives are met.
- Working with stakeholders, define the scope and plans for future project phases and work streams - particularly in more complex or longer range ‘fix’ plan scenarios where budgets and other resources will need to be planned and mobilised in advance.
- Ensuring all project and related support deliverables are achieved in line with time, cost and quality criteria.
**Recommendations, reporting and insights.**
- As far as possible and appropriate, support feedback, input, insights, and recommendations with data.
- Work with varied data and ensure readiness of the integrity of data to support accurate reporting assumptions, forecasts, and trend analysis.
