About the role:
The Senior Adviser supports delivery of the suite of savings initiatives approved by Health Finance Board and Cabinet. Actual delivery of the initiatives remains the responsibility of specific DH divisions, therefore these roles must operate in a highly collaborative and networked manner. The Senior Advisor will need to work closely with the Principal Advisor, who will be responsible for specific streams of work, to support strong coordination across the entire strategic portfolio of activity from design, delivery to performance.
This role ensures the Division "delivers things the right way". You will provide the operational rigor, ensuring the roadmap is translated into scoped, transparent, and risk-managed initiatives. The role ensures the Division delivers its initiatives consistently, predictably and transparently. It provides portfolio oversight, governance coordination, delivery support and assurance. It works closely with responsible executives, project leads and central agencies to ensure initiatives are well‑scoped, well‑governed and on track to deliver intended outcomes.
