Cross‑Programme Coordination

• Support portfolio‑level analysis including heat maps, impact assessments, and change‑fatigue indicators
• Help coordinate readiness activities across teams where processes span multiple domains

Communications & Engagement

• Support the creation of clear, engaging communications for senior stakeholders
• Assist with joint communications or training where audiences overlap
• Help drive knowledge‑sharing, best practices, and ways‑of‑working across portfolios

Enterprise Readiness

• Contribute to enterprise‑level cutover planning and readiness assessments
• Support documentation, reporting, and preparation for governance forums

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in consulting, PMO, internal comms, change management, or transformation
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging senior stakeholders
• Ability to simplify complexity and present information clearly
• Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail
• Experience in retail, buying, suppliers, or supply chain (advantageous)
• Proactive, organised, and comfortable working in fast‑moving environments
