• Work closely with Technical Operations and other stakeholders to understand the impact of technology changes, helping to identify risks, mitigations, and opportunities to improve adoption.
• Manage and grow the Office 365 Champions Network, building engagement and promoting best practice across the business.
• Gather and analyse user feedback, engagement metrics, and performance data to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Use dashboards, reporting, and insights to monitor adoption, service performance, and delivery progress, supporting informed decision-making across the domain.
