The role has a strong strategic impact. Working with cross-functional stakeholders, you will develop, maintain, and deliver a dynamic portfolio of solutions that meet the Strategic priorities of the business. You will work closely with R&D (Research and Development), Product and Segment Marketing, and Integrated Supply Chain functional managers to ensure that priorities across relevant products or projects are balanced and aligned to meet business needs for cost, quality and innovation.
What are your responsibilities?
- Support the PMO in delivering R&D projects by ensuring the productivity and efficiency of external partner collaborations, and by effectively and meaningfully monitoring the performance of both internal and external partner teams.
- Establish and manage the business process for external partnership selection and management including periodic review of partners utilised by the business and proposing updates as required to ensure excellent value for money and return on investment, while avoiding unwanted "lock-in."

- Provide support to development teams in setting up Statements of Work and commercial arrangements for project collaborations.

- Develop suitable qualitative and quantitative KPIs and / or data capture suites to align to business needs and ensure performance is appropriately monitored, and areas of improvement are highlighted;
- Define and develop internal processes and procedures to embed performance management in ways of working.
- Manage and mature MP’s internal PowerBI reporting suite through:
- Creating and maintaining data pipelines, Export, Transform and Load (ETL) processes, and reports and visualisations.
- Creating and ensuring availability of requirement-driven, dynamic, user-friendly, self-service reports presenting high-quality, high-integrity, and accurate data to meet business reporting requirements.
- Identifying or responding to new requirements for data and/or reporting, and identifying opportunities for process automation or improvement to increase reporting efficiency and effectiveness are critical aspects of the role.
- Note: Whilst formal experience of using PowerBI effectively is not essential, the post-holder will be a data-driven individual with a strong willingness to learn new systems.
What do you need to be successful in this role?
