- Support QRR and produce QSRA/QCRA modelling outputs, including quarterly SRA/CRA reporting
- Lead assumptions management and maintain relevant MDAL inputs
- Build strong stakeholder relationships across the base team, partners, and suppliers, spotting emerging issues early
You will have the following qualifications & experience:
