• Coordinate the portfolio governance and reporting rhythm, ensuring forums are well prepared and actions, decisions and follow-ups are effectively managed.
• Maintain a consolidated view of portfolio health, including schedule, milestones, RAID, dependencies, scope, change, resources and delivery status.
• Analyse portfolio information to identify emerging risks, trends, exceptions and decision points, providing clear insights to delivery leadership.
• Translate complex delivery information into clear, consistent and decision-ready reporting for senior leaders and customer stakeholders.
• Support financial and commercial reporting, including forecasts, recoverability, cost pressures and unfunded activity.
• Act as a central coordination point across the portfolio, continuously improving reporting, governance standards, templates and assurance practices.

Na tōu rourou - what you’ll bring

• Proven experience in portfolio, programme or project coordination, PMO, governance or delivery support, ideally within a complex ICT or customer delivery environment.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, with the ability to interpret delivery, financial, risk, dependency and milestone information.
• Experience producing high-quality governance, executive and customer-facing reporting that supports effective decision-making.
• Sound knowledge of project and programme delivery practices, including governance, RAID, change control, dependencies and reporting cycles.
• Strong commercial awareness, with experience supporting forecasting, recoverability and project financial administration.
• Excellent communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging senior internal and customer stakeholders.
• Highly organised and adaptable, with strong Microsoft Office capability, a continuous improvement mindset, and ideally experience using generative AI tools.
• One New Zealand is leading the way by ensuring you can have a truly balanced life. Most roles allow flexibility to work from home and flex your hours to enjoy work & whānau commitments.
• A fully subsidised Southern Cross health insurance cover for you and your family.
• Lifestyle leave, giving you the option to purchase an extra week or two of annual leave.
• Discounts on One New Zealand products, services and much more!
