Key skills for this role
This is not a traditional administrative support position.
We're looking for someone who can confidently work across multiple stakeholders, challenge constructively, identify gaps, keep activities moving forward and ensure critical programme information is visible, accurate and actionable.
You'll work closely with Programme Leads, Portfolio Directors and senior leaders across the organisation, becoming a trusted partner in the successful delivery of key strategic initiatives.
For an ambitious PMO or Project Controls professional, this is an opportunity to gain exposure to enterprise-level transformation programmes and build experience across a broad portfolio of business change activity.
You'll be responsible for supporting programme leaders by maintaining effective programme controls and governance, including:
Tracking programme milestones, actions, risks, issues and dependencies
Maintaining programme plans, schedules and reporting packs
Producing dashboards, status reports and executive updates
Coordinating governance reviews, workshops and steering meetings
Managing action logs and ensuring follow-up with stakeholders
Supporting benefit tracking, financial reporting and performance monitoring
Maintaining SharePoint repositories and programme documentation
Supporting senior stakeholders with accurate programme information and reporting
Identifying reporting gaps, data quality issues and emerging delivery risks
Helping establish and improve programme controls, governance and reporting standards
