You’ll produce clear, timely management information that shows performance, trends and risks. No noise. Just insight.
Driving continuous improvement
When issues arise, you’ll lead resolution with a calm, structured approach. You’ll look beyond symptoms, identify root causes, and make sure lessons are learned and applied.

You’ll also define and track KPIs, support cost optimisation, and create feedback loops that genuinely improve performance.
Supporting change and transition
You’ll support the introduction of new applications and services, including review and sign‑off. And you’ll work with Domain Delivery Leads to prioritise BAU, small change and transformation work.
