Working closely with stakeholders across strategy, finance, programme delivery and leadership teams, you'll become the trusted expert on performance, helping leaders understand what the data is telling them, what risks may be emerging, and where action is required.

• Provide meaningful insight that enables effective decision-making and proactive intervention.
• Champion a culture of performance excellence, accountability and continuous improvement.
