· Ensure project documentation, customer approvals, acceptance records, and contractual evidence are complete and properly maintained.

· Drive project recovery plans when delivery deviates from agreed scope, schedule, budget, quality, or customer expectations.

· Support project closure, operational handover, lessons learned, and realization of agreed delivery outcomes.

· Contribute to continuous improvement of PMO standards, delivery processes, templates, tools, metrics, and governance practices.

· Support pre-sales and commercial teams when required by contributing to delivery approaches, estimates, assumptions, risks, resource plans, and transition strategies.
