• Coordinating data mapping, records and associated compliance activities.
• Tracking actions, risks and audit-related activities and maintaining accurate records.
• Preparing reports and providing clear visibility of progress, issues and outstanding actions.
• Working with stakeholders to identify gaps and support practical improvements to processes, procedures and ways of working.
• Confidently following up, asking questions and constructively challenging where requirements or processes haven't been met.
• Coordinating multiple activities and stakeholders to keep work moving and deliver outcomes.

• Experience in reporting, action tracking and applying governance or compliance frameworks.
• A collaborative, pragmatic approach and willingness to get involved.
