Key responsibilities will include:

• Building and maintaining effective relationships with internal teams, senior stakeholders and external partners.
• Identifying opportunities to improve project processes, reporting tools and ways of working to support greater efficiency.

We are keen to hear from candidates who have experience in project support, PMO coordination, project administration or project management, and who can demonstrate strong organisational and communication skills.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• Experience developing and maintaining project or delivery plans, including clear objectives, milestones and measures of success.
• Experience supporting project or programme planning and reporting.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across different teams.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage, influence and negotiate with senior stakeholders.
• The ability to manage multiple competing priorities while responding effectively to changing demands and ad hoc requests.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate, high-quality project information.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, identifying risks and suggesting improvements to existing processes.
• Experience working within a PMO or supporting a complex programme of work would be advantageous.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates confidently and can deliver high-quality support in a changing environment. You will be comfortable working with a range of stakeholders, making sound decisions and ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and to a high standard.
