The main tasks and responsibilities include

Plan and coordinate workstreams across functions, tracking milestones, dependencies, and deadlines to keep the programme on schedule.
Monitor progress across workstreams, following up with workstream leads and stakeholders to ensure commitments are met and escalating blockers promptly.
Prepare and maintain project documentation including project plans, status reports, RAID logs, decision logs, and meeting minutes.
