• Identify risks, constraints and sequencing considerations to improve delivery confidence and decision-making.
• Support the integration of business, transformation and portfolio delivery initiatives into a single enterprise plan.
• Act as a trusted advisor, helping leaders make informed decisions while delivery remains owned by programme and project teams.

• Are experienced in enterprise transformation, portfolio or programme management.
• Experienced in large, complex organisations – preferably retail
