• Track project progress and highlight risks or issues proactively.
• Prepare and deliver clear, concise reports and dashboards for various audiences.
• Support effective communication between project teams and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with teams to identify improvements and help drive project delivery excellence.

What you will bring:

• The ability to analyse and interpret project data, transforming it into clear, actionable insights tailored to the needs of diverse stakeholders at all levels.
• Stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to adapt communication style and messaging to suit different audiences.
• Experience in proactively identifying project issues or risks and proposing practical solutions to improve delivery outcomes.
• Understanding of project governance frameworks, including SAFe methodology and RAID logs, with hands-on experience managing these artefacts.
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail, ensuring accuracy and consistency in reporting and documentation.
• A collaborative mindset, able to work closely with project teams, sponsors, and other stakeholders to maintain momentum and drive successful delivery.

It would be great if you have:

• Experience setting up and managing a PMO function.
• An active Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.
