• Engage directly with vendors to ensure contract compliance and performance delivery meet our transformation objectives.
• Maintain deliberate and regular communication across all levels of the business to foster alignment, commitment, and successful change adoption.
• Monitor project governance frameworks, including issue management and change control, while providing high-level reporting to the leadership group.
