• Support preparation for QBRs, steering meetings, stakeholder updates and funding review sessions by consolidating inputs from workstream leads and regional stakeholders
  

• Coordinate activity across UK, France and Spain, ensuring regional plans are aligned while recognising local requirements, dependencies and operating model considerations.
  
• Work with sales, solution, product, architecture, operations and delivery leaders to track progress against build-phase objectives and readiness milestones.
  
• Maintain a joined-up view of recruitment, proposition readiness, sales enablement, customer engagement, product/service development and SOC or operational readiness activity.

• Help unblock issues by connecting the right stakeholders, clarifying ownership and escalating decisions to the appropriate leadership forum.
  
• Ensure funding-related commitments, milestones and reporting obligations are actively tracked and evidenced.
  
• Provide early visibility of delays, resource gaps, decision points or cross-functional conflicts that may impact programme outcomes.
  

• Support the transition of Cloud, Cybersecurity and AI activity from mobilisation and build into a more sustainable running and growth model.
  
• Document key decisions, operating assumptions, handover points and open actions to support a smooth transition at the end of the fixed-term contract.
  
• Help define what “ready to run” looks like for the programme, including governance handover, workstream ownership and reporting cadence.
  
• Ensure the programme leaves behind clear documentation, agreed ownership and a practical operating rhythm for ongoing business growth.
  

• This role is specifically linked to the funded Digital Services Cloud, Cybersecurity and AI strategic build programme and is required only for the mobilisation and build phase.
  
• The role reports to the Business Operations Director and supports strategic business execution, rather than reporting into a delivery function or managing a portfolio of customer delivery projects.
  
• The focus is on internal strategic coordination, cross-regional workstream management, executive reporting and build-to-growth transition, rather than end-to-end technical delivery of customer projects.
  
• The role does not own customer project P&L, formal customer delivery governance, contracted customer implementation outcomes or BAU service delivery.
  
• The role is time-bound because the requirement is expected to reduce once the Cloud Cybersecurity and AI workstreams have moved from build phase into an established operating and growth model.
  

• Proven experience coordinating complex business, transformation, mobilisation or stra-tegic change programmes with multiple stakeholders and workstreams.
  
• Strong planning, organisation and governance skills, with the ability to create structure in ambiguous or fast-moving environments.
  
• Experience managing actions, risks, issues, dependencies, milestones and stakeholder reporting.
  
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to produce clear up-dates for senior and executive audiences.
  
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority and drive progress through others.
  
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate documentation and re-porting under time pressure.
  
• Comfortable working across multiple countries, teams and functions, balancing local requirements with group-level objectives.
  
• Proactive, resilient and outcome-focused, with the confidence to identify blockers and escalate constructively.
  
• Experience working within technology, managed services, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, digital transformation or professional services environments.
  
• Experience supporting funded programmes, investment cases, executive reporting or strategic business initiatives.
  
• Experience working with international or cross-regional teams.
