My role encompasses a broad range of responsibilities within Scientific Operations. I work closely with the Scientific Operations leadership team, senior managers, and key business partners across the organisation to support and develop initiatives that align with our strategic priorities. My focus areas include enhancing communication, fostering information sharing, and strengthening governance processes. Additionally, I collaborate with colleagues to design, implement, and optimise key business processes that improve efficiency, increase collaboration, and ensure a cohesive, coordinated approach across the department.
