• Governance & Tracking: You will assist with project tracking and the management of Risks, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAID), ensuring every project sticks to our established governance standards.
• System Super-User: You will act as the "super-user" for our Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tool, maintaining templates and guidance documents to ensure a consistent approach across the business.
• Team Support: You will provide direct administrative support to the PMO team, managing schedules, team calendars, and handling the onboarding and offboarding logistics for project managers.
