Job Description
EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Permanent
DEPARTMENT: Commercial Office
DIVISION: Group

PURPOSE OF JOB
The VCP will be delivered through a number of
cross-functional workstreams led by business owners. Strategy, workstream
design and value creation logic will remain with business and strategy
leadership. This role will sit alongside those teams and provide the execution
support, coordination and performance visibility needed to convert plans into
results.
The role holder will act as a central integrator across
the VCP, helping to ensure that; each workstream has clear priorities, credible
plans and accountable owners. Delivery remains focused on agreed outcomes and
value creation objectives, progress is tracked consistently, with practical
visibility on milestones, risks and dependencies. Issues, slippage and decision
points are surfaced early and addressed at pace. Leadership has concise,
decision-useful insight on progress, performance and value realisation; and governance
and reporting support execution rather than becoming an end in themselves.
The
role will also support engagement with shareholder stakeholders and other
senior internal stakeholders by ensuring delivery progress, risks and
implications are clearly articulated.

- Bring structure and consistency to how workstreams report progress without creating unnecessary process burden.
- Provie high-quality reporting and execution insight.
- Prepare clear, concise and decision-oriented reporting for the Executive team, Board and shareholder stakeholders.
