It's a unique opportunity to shape a critical capability for Ocean Infinity's future success.
Responsibilities
- Support the President in shaping and translating Robotics strategic priorities into clear workstreams, milestones, and deliverables.
- Maintain an integrated view of Robotics priorities across asset delivery, vessel/payload operations, engineering, remote operations centres, HSEQ, and facilities.
- Track progress of major initiatives, identify interdependencies, risks, and decisions, and ensure leaders remain accountable for actions and timelines.
- Support scenario planning, operating model development, strategic workshops, and annual planning cycles for the Robotics unit.
- Serve as a trusted advisor and thought partner to the President, providing insight, challenge, and clarity to support strategic and operational decision-making.
- Connect insight across Robotics and the wider business, ensuring the President has visibility of key information.
- Pre-empt issues, structure options and recommendations, and help the unit make clear choices in ambiguous or first-time situations.
- Maintain visibility of asset readiness, operational performance, engineering delivery, delivery risks, and improvement priorities.
- Help establish the operating rhythm across asset delivery, vessel/payload operations, engineering, remote operations centres, HSEQ, and facilities.
- Ensure delivery reviews surface the right risks, decisions, dependencies, and actions, and that follow-through is clear.
- Support the President in balancing future Robotics capability-building with operational delivery.
- Own the cadence for Robotics leadership meetings, cross-functional working groups, and decision forums.
- Plan agendas, manage pre-read creation, ensure sessions are purposeful, and track outcomes and follow-up actions.
- Draft internal communications, presentations, and messaging on behalf of the President for the Robotics unit.
- Prepare talking points, briefing notes, and updates to ensure consistent, clear communication.
- Help shape the narrative around the Robotics unit’s purpose, progress, and priorities.
- Ensure the President’s time and focus are directed toward the highest-value priorities by filtering, organising, and prioritising requests.
- Prepare briefing packs, background summaries, and insight reports for key meetings, site visits, vessel visits, and business reviews.
- Travel with the President where helpful to build shared context and understand unit operations.
- Drive continuous improvement across Robotics, helping teams challenge existing ways of working and build practical, scalable approaches.
- Exemplify leadership behaviours including strategic horizon scanning, customer sense-making, leadership impact, integrity, collaboration, transformation delivery, and effective decision-making.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including narrative creation and executive-level messaging.
- Strong facilitation skills; able to run effective meetings that create clarity, surface trade-offs, and drive decisions.
