  • Meeting coordination, taking meeting minutes, notes, capturing actions, and driving them to conclusion by following up with relevant stakeholders
  • Tracking and reporting on all integration programs and their workstreams, tracking performance and identifying and managing issues and dependencies, producing consistent and clear status reports for both project teams and Executive/Board audiences
  • Performing data analysis as required (e.g. carer pay, branch footprint, contract terms) to confirm trends and solve emerging operational challenges arising during the integration
