You will translate aims into clear manageable plans and determine resource requirements to support implementation, facilitating flexible use of resources across the organisation through innovative structuring of resources within your own area. Regularly interpret management information to provide valuable business insights and work alongside senior colleagues to help share strategy and policy within your role area

In cases where the deliverable or platform is not being delivered to the required quality, cost or timescales you will need to identify the issues and take appropriate action.
