3. To flex across projects and programmes during pinch points to provide extra capacity to team members where necessary.
4. To provide sound administrative support to the Senior Management Team and Strategic Projects Manager, undertaking research, planning and on occasion, logistical support as needed.
5. To liaise with a range of senior external stakeholders in the UK and overseas in the delivery of strategic projects.
