• Design and maintain the Jira structure, including epics, fields, dependencies and delivery views.
• Own the Confluence structure, documentation standards and content governance.
• Own the integrated programme plan across active initiatives and releases.
• Map and monitor cross-workstream and cross-programme dependencies.
• Surface blockers early and escalate with clear evidence and impact.
