·       Maintain a solution-oriented communication approach, escalating critical concerns to the Program Manager in a timely manner.

·       Actively participate in daily scrum calls to track work assignments, monitor team progress, and ensure alignment with project timelines.

·       Participate in internal walkthrough sessions with the delivery team, Team Leads, and the Technical Review Team to validate the accuracy and completeness of all deliverables prior to client submission.

·       Maintain comprehensive and well-organised records within the Internal Delivery Repository and Client-Shared Delivery Repository.
