  • Assist in gathering information for change impact assessments.
  • Ensure all change documentation follows established governance processes.
  • Planning & Delivery Alignment
  • Prioritise tasks with guidance from senior PMs to support delivery milestones.
  • Prepare agendas, pre-reading, RAID summaries, and progress materials for delivery forums.
  • Track milestone achievement and ensure alignment with digital transformation timelines.
  • Continuous Learning & Improvement
  • Develop capability in planning, RAID management, stakeholder engagement, and project governance.
  • Contribute to improving ways of working within the Digital Transformation team.
  • Build familiarity with OCU Digital platforms, operational processes, and core systems
