• Data & Insights: Analyze data to identify insights, track project milestones/resource commitments, and optimize reporting for senior stakeholders using PPM tools.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as a central bridge, collaborating across project managers, external suppliers, and senior leadership to ensure consistent delivery and clear internal communications.
• PMO Development: Guide project managers on framework execution and contribute to the long-term development of our IT PMO and roadmap activities.

About You (Requirements)

• Experience: Proven experience as a Project Manager or PMO Analyst. Experience working across multiple projects and complex portfolios is essential. (IT programme experience is highly preferred but not mandatory).
• Data & Tooling Expertise: Expert knowledge of data analysis—particularly using Power BI. Experience with Planview (or similar PPM tools) is highly desirable.
• Communication & Multitasking: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to build relationships, translate complex portfolio decisions into actionable plans, and manage competing priorities.
