• Prepare the business for future implementation of a single EasyJob instance.
• Deliver sustainable organisational change through communication, training and stakeholder engagement.

• Support country leadership teams through behavioural and process change, monitoring adoption and intervening where progress is at risk.
• Manage the European Asset Governance Board and coordinate the Asset Standardisation Team.
• Ensure decisions are documented, communicated and translated into clear actions.
• Escalate blockers, risks and decisions through the appropriate governance routes.
• Coordinate development of the asset-management operating model and asset-allocation processes.
• Coordinate cross-border asset-transfer processes, EasyJob operating procedures, compliance and audit processes, and RFID implementation activities.
• Ensure standardised operational processes are clearly defined, documented and adopted.
• Establish programme KPI dashboards and reporting packs.
• Monitor asset utilisation, external subhire reduction, data quality, process compliance, adoption levels and project-benefit tracking.
• Validate programme progress and benefits against approved business-case targets.
• Coordinate business-readiness activities for the future single EasyJob instance.
