• Reporting & Insights: Track project progress, budgets, and key performance measures to produce clear updates and reports. Help measure project outcomes and contribute to post-implementation reviews.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Build positive relationships across HR, Technology, Communications, and Learning & Development to prepare engaging project updates, presentations, and meeting materials.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to simplify ways of working, improve processes, and maximise the value of technology and AI within the People function.
