We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won't be solved by science alone.

Where in Wellcome will I be working?

The D&T Delivery team works across the department to ensure high quality and efficient delivery of technology and digital transformation programmes, projects and agile products. We strategically plan, prioritise and deliver D&T's diverse portfolio and manage the Digital & Technology Investment Plan for delivery of strategic change activities. We are a team of 12 including delivery managers, project managers and analysts. We use a mix of waterfall and agile practices and are actively implementing more agile ways of working across the portfolio.

You will be reporting into the Senior Manager – D&T Delivery.

What will I be doing?

We are looking for a strategic portfolio reporting professional to deliver reporting mechanisms across D&T with a focus on defining meaningful performance and delivery metrics for our portfolio. The role will be working closely with the Senior Manager – D&T Delivery in shaping and optimising our performance reporting as well as providing administrative support to the wider team to facilitate successful delivery of the portfolio.

As a Portfolio Analyst you will:

• Build and present reporting mechanisms across the portfolio. This includes performance reporting on projects, transformation programmes, products and alignment with our organisational objectives and key results (OKRs)

• Help define and update key measures to report on D&T operational and strategic activities to enable data-driven decision making.

• Find opportunities to improve on and automate our existing strategic and operational performance reporting and implement those.

• Support D&T Delivery team by establishing the right level of risk, issue and change control processes and templates.

• Help coordinate our governance meetings with scheduling, agenda planning, paper collating and ensuring follow up actions are completed.
