  • Communicate QA outcomes clearly and concisely with key stakeholders and senior leadership, and track remedial actions and optimisation opportunities to effective closure;

  • Drive and support global projects and initiatives for operations excellence, providing data‑driven analytics and insights to support informed decision‑making
