- Chair and support project reviews with suppliers and international partners, capturing actions and outcomes
- Interface with internal engineering, quality, operations and programme teams to support acceptance activities
- Support commercial and procurement colleagues with subcontract and licence-related activities
- Track licence fees, royalties and milestone payments in line with contractual agreements
- Provide clear status updates and reporting to senior stakeholders
