  Experience managing capacity, capability, and demand across large-scale programmes or transformation portfolios.
• Strong data analysis and forecasting capability
  Ability to interpret complex data, build forecasts, and provide actionable insights to inform strategic decisions.
• Senior stakeholder management and influencing skills
  Confidence working with and advising senior leaders, translating data into clear recommendations and driving alignment.
• Experience with resource management tools and reporting
  Strong knowledge of tools such as Planview (or similar), with the ability to create meaningful dashboards and ensure data accuracy.
• Strategic thinking with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
  Ability to anticipate future, identify risks, optimise resource allocation, and continuously improve ways of working.
