• Build and maintain an agile framework and structure to service large scale client programmes with metrics and a reporting framework to accurately articulate performance to clients, ensuring all programmes meet with contractual obligations and standards as well as budget and timescales, enhancing the reputation of Operate, PwC and the Client through efficient and high quality service.

• Develop capacity and capability to deliver a highly skilled, high performing, efficient and sustainable workforce by working collaboratively with enablement teams (resourcing, recruitment, capability and development and people and performance).

• Handle conflict sensitively but firmly, providing leadership and resilience in equal measure.

• Contribute to the wider Operate business through collaboration with colleagues, owning or sponsoring key initiatives and reinforcing the Operate culture.
