Supporting leadership in driving agile governance processes, including yearly and quarterly planning for the tribes within the Personal Customers domain.

In this role you will collaborate closely with the Forward ’28 Programme Management Office (PMO) and Strategy Execution Program Managers, as well as with other entities in the group that are following up on strategy execution.

Some examples of work tasks could include:
