• Run Scrum events as needed, making sure each one happens, stays positive and productive, and keeps to its timebox.
• Keep ceremony artefacts high quality, maintain backlog refinement, and turn stakeholder feedback into iteration work that delivers customer value.

• If you lead people, show the company's LEAD behaviours: listen with authenticity, motivate and inspire, align work across the enterprise, and grow others.
• If you work as an individual contributor, lead collaborative assignments, guide team members through structured work, bring in other specialists when needed, and propose new directions that combine cross-functional methods.
• Advise People Leaders on complex escalated issues, help mitigate risk, and develop new policies and procedures that support control and governance.
• Take ownership of risk management and strengthen controls for your work.
• Analyse complex data from internal and external sources, including how other teams and companies handle similar work, to solve problems.
• Explain complex or sensitive information clearly to different audiences, and influence stakeholders to reach outcomes.
• Show the company's values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship, and its mindset of Empower, Challenge and Drive.
