The role offers the opportunity to help shape reporting practices and support the rollout of tools and templates to increase visibility, consistency, and accountability across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, automate and improve reporting processes using tools such as Power BI, Microsoft Project, Excel, and other visualisation platforms.
• Collect, analyse, and interpret complex project and programme data (e.g., progress, financials, risks) to inform reports and dashboards for senior stakeholders.
• Work with project managers and programme leads to ensure adherence to PMO processes, standards, and frameworks (PRINCE2, Agile, MSP, P3O).
• Support the development and rollout of standardised templates, registers, and PMO processes across the institution.
• Provide high-quality secretariat support for governance meetings and forums, including minutes, action tracking and stakeholder updates.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for greater efficiency and impact across the PMO’s operations.
• Monitor project budgets and expenditure to support financial tracking and governance.
• Solid understanding and practical experience with project and programme governance methodologies (e.g., PRINCE2, Agile, MSP, P3O).
• Strong proficiency in project and portfolio reporting using tools such as Power BI, Microsoft Excel, MS Project, and the wider Office 365 suite.
• Experience in maintaining and reporting on project controls including RAID, milestones, schedules, and resource utilisation.
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and competing priorities, with strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills – capable of engaging stakeholders across all levels and tailoring messages accordingly.
• Analytical mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement.
• Collaborative team player with the ability to support and influence project delivery teams.
• Experience in a PMO role within a complex or regulated organisation – ideally within public sector or similar environments.

Why Join?
