• Engage IRR workstreams to resolve their issues such as lack of ownership of findings or agreement of materiality of findings (working with the CCA BAU Lead Assessor)
• Clarity project management for CCA in IRR – status, RAIDs
• Lead the monthly CCA WGs and weekly IRR PRA workstream engagement (may extend to regional attendees depending on 2025 prioritised BoW)
• Represent CCA at IRR forums e.g. Portfolio WG
• Rollout training for CCA BAU resources to embed CCA capability into BAU by ensuring skillset is developed to perform CCAs
• Educate the DQM owners in the standards for Calc logic documentation in order to enable CCAs e.g., through continued use of new CCA Sharepoint
• Lead review of further operational efficiency measures e.g., independent testing tool for calculators
• Manage assigned change resources and work with CCA BAU Lead Assessor to build a highly performing CCA BAU team ready for embedding into BAU in 2026
• Prepare 2026 budget with the CCA BAU Lead

Skills and experience:
• Senior Project/ Programme management experience – establishing new Operating Model and governance
• Engage and update senior management on progress, escalating blockers as appropriate with solution mindset
• Scope and budget management/ status reporting, ensuring that other programme workstream leads understand any requirements being interlocked
