This is a people-first operations role. You will work side by side with program leadership, finance, and customer counterparts, and you will be the first face new team members meet when they join.

• Build and maintain monthly program and project reports, dashboards, and financial summaries that help leaders make decisions.

• Document current processes, spot opportunities to simplify them, and work with cross-functional teams to roll out improvements.
• Help develop and maintain SOPs, trackers, and templates so the whole team can work consistently.
• Explore and apply AI tools (for example, Microsoft Copilot) to speed up reporting, draft and QA deliverables, automate repetitive tasks, and surface insights, always with appropriate review and in line with customer and AFS data-handling policies.
• Act as direct support; reporting to PMO Lead -Administer PMO functions (eg personnel management, tracking, onboarding and offboarding processes).
• Collaborating and providing operational support to multiple programs ensuring seamless program execution.
