• Collate and synthesise data from cross-functional teams, delivering clear analysis and actionable insights to guide strategic decision-making
• Support the operationalisation of publishing strategy, helping ensure that strategic decisions translate into actionable plans, clear documentation, and consistent rollout across the business
