Air DRes Productivity Hub Lead

The SEO productivity lead will be responsible for articulating the Air position in productivity delivery. Presenting to seniors what benefits could be realised in both cashable and non-cashable terms. They will work with the Productivity Management Information (MI) and Analytics role to understand where some initiatives have not made progress and use the provided data to support decision making and influence what should be prioritised to deliver the greatest impact against Air's outputs.

Airs Productivity initiatives will be captured in the "Hopper" (currently a Microsoft Power BI tool). The role will be working with a varying range of stakeholders to understand where each initiative is against already agreed maturity levels. They will support the initiative owner in progression through the maturity levels where required. This could be writing a business case for additional support to see the initiative delivered. Initiatives are owned by the business area and are not the responsibility of this role for delivery.

For the Hopper to continue to grow, the role will be responsible for facilitating idea generation events by enabling interactive forums using data analytics tools when applicable. Events can be face to face (preferred) or over MS Teams. Idea generation event stakeholders are identified by the business as who has the most appropriate knowledge, so could be any rank/grade. Ideas may come through another initiative and the role will need to work with these programmes to determine if they fit productivity ambitions, where there is either financial saving, workforce or time savings. Where an initiative crosses another programme, it will be important that productivity supports how this is captured and that we are not double accounting any financial savings.

The role will contribute to workforce up-skilling through facilitation of knowledge share events. A pilot programme has been run with an initial cohort of finance business partners and commercial business partners. The SEO will be responsible for continuing to roll out this up-skilling using a programme of "lessons" that has already been developed. These sessions may also be appropriate to roll through a business area, especially where an area has a lot of initiatives moving through the maturity levels.

Innovative visualisation and presentation of complex financial data sets and the ability to communicate this to non-finance stakeholders will be essential. This will ensure opportunities to reinvest and provide the best return on investment are clearly understood, and that we can articulate why some opportunities are prioritised over others. This narrative will be developed with support from finance and commercial business partners as well as our delivery partners.

As resources are squeezed and demand on war-fighting capability increases, this role will be key to how we maintain a balanced and affordable position in Air and demonstrate the organisation is an investable proposition for future resource.
