• Translate data and analysis into concise, compelling stories that highlight key achievements, challenges, and recommendations for senior audiences.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying smarter ways of working, leveraging automation and innovation to enhance reporting quality, efficiency, and insight.
• Build strong collaborative relationships across the business, helping to align priorities, manage cross-portfolio challenges, and deliver transformational change at pace.

What You’ll Have:

• Proven experience analysing portfolio or programme performance data and turning complex information into meaningful insights, recommendations, and actions that support successful delivery.
• Strong reporting, dashboarding, and data visualisation skills, with experience developing and maintaining portfolio dashboards using tools such as Excel, Power BI, and AI-enabled reporting tools, alongside producing high-quality outputs for governance forums and senior stakeholders.
• Experience managing risks, issues, dependencies, and assumptions (RAID), with the ability to identify emerging challenges and support effective mitigation and decision-making.
• Excellent portfolio, programme, or PMO management capability, including governance, reporting, performance management, and working within recognised project or change management frameworks.
• A continuous improvement mindset, with experience enhancing reporting processes, improving data quality, and using automation, digital tools, or AI to drive efficiency and insight.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships, collaborate across teams, and confidently challenge where needed to achieve the best outcomes.
• A proactive and highly organised approach, with the ability to work independently, solve complex problems, prioritise competing demands, and support delivery teams in achieving key milestones and objectives.
