This is an opportunity to shape how projects are governed and delivered, creating proportionate standards, tools and reporting that improve consistency and visibility.

• Developing practical and proportionate governance, project lifecycles, templates, toolkits and portfolio reporting.
• Working with sponsors and stakeholders to define business cases, objectives, deliverables, success measures and project tolerances.

• Bringing diverse teams and external partners together, establishing clear ownership and maintaining momentum throughout delivery.
• Providing clear project and portfolio reporting to sponsors, leadership teams and governance forums.

• Practical experience of designing, establishing or significantly improving a PMO, project management methodology, governance framework, toolkit or portfolio reporting approach.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to influence, challenge and create accountability without direct authority.
• The ability to bring structure to ambiguity, work independently and translate business requirements into clear plans, actions, ownership and decisions.
