You'll also develop a strong affinity with the Deployment function, working with them to identify opportunity and create realisable business cases. You will be driven by, but not limited to, a clear efficiency savings target, and you will help create a ‘pipeline’ of robust, tried-and-tested opportunities that can be deployed by the Divisions as required, and as change capacity permits.
