• Coordinate forward planning of activities requiring stakeholder or SME input, ensuring timely engagement and informed decision‑making
• Provide clear, concise updates to senior leadership forums on engagement activity, outcomes, risks, and opportunities
• Embed efficient and effective communication mechanisms across programme and stakeholder communities
• Ensure alignment between infrastructure activities and wider strategic objectives, contributing to investment prioritisation and assurance processes
