They will define and maintain accountability frameworks (such as Linear Responsibility Matrices) to clarify who is responsible for what across delivery sections, functions and key stakeholders.

A core part of the role is to drive implementation and adoption of these processes and accountabilities, ensuring they are understood, used and embedded in day‑to‑day delivery.
