• Support development of process maps, role clarity documents, design options, and decision-rights frameworks
• Assist in identifying pain points, inefficiencies, and simplification opportunities
  
  

• Analysis & Insight Development
• Analyse cost drivers across business enablement functions to identify efficiency opportunities

• Cost Reduction & Productivity Programs
• Support data collection, cost driver analysis, benchmarking, and benefit-tracking for productivity and simplification programs
• Prepare working files, tracking templates, and dashboards for leadership use
• Monitor progress against targets and highlight risks or variances
  
  

• Governance & Stakeholder Support
• Prepare draft materials for governance forums, leadership discussions, and cross-functional working groups
• Maintain documentation, trackers, and repositories for project assets
• Support Senior members in coordinating with Global Strategy, Finance, Talent, Technology, and other teams
  
  

• Execution Support & Program Management
• Provide PMO support for priority initiatives — charters, plans, milestones, risk/issue tracking, status reporting
• Work closely with Global Strategy, Finance, Talent, Technology, and other functions on cross-firm projects
• Build clear, leadership-ready materials (presentations, dashboards, analysis packs) with a strong narrative

• Ability to work across multiple stakeholders, functions and geographies with professionalism and maturity
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to create clear, concise, senior-ready presentations
