- Deliver exceptional support for programme boards, working groups, and forums through meticulous meeting preparation and execution.
- Foster strong relationships with project stakeholders through clear and consistent communication, upholding the WMCA's reputation.
- Develop and implement communication plans and materials to keep stakeholders engaged and informed of programme progress.
- Continuously refine project management processes within the Energy Capital team, driving efficiency and effectiveness.

**About you**
- A strong track record in programme management and reporting practices.
- A thorough understanding of programme and project management methodologies, encompassing stakeholder management, information management, risk and issue management, monitoring and control, change management, and financial monitoring.
- Excellent interpersonal and organisational skills with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities.
