Identify project risks, blockers and interdependencies across workstreams.
Escalate issues clearly with proposed solutions.
Track unresolved decisions and ensure they are brought to the right forums.
Monitor project quality, timelines and delivery expectations.
Help prevent strategic projects from becoming delayed, duplicated or poorly governed.
Process improvement and execution support

Support the development of practical ways of working for cross-functional projects.
