Provide advice and assistance to stakeholders on transformation activities, project schedules, communication and change plans. Contribute to the development of change and communication products across a variety of tools to support transformation activities. Assist with the assessment and evaluation of information and processes for compliance with Defence legislation and policy, and recommend action if required. Be proactive in responding to stakeholder queries and requests, ensuring responses are provided within agreed timelines.
