• Build expertise in the client's project management standards, governance rules, systems and reporting methods.
• Work with internal teams, vendors, stakeholders and clients to deliver well and stay aligned with strategy.
• Maintain and improve PMO processes, guidebooks, dashboards and reporting tools, and look for ways to optimise and automate them.
• Prepare clear, concise reports, presentations and training materials for project managers and business leaders.
• Help with PMO operations, special projects and strategic initiatives when needed.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in business, finance, accounting, economics, data analytics, project management or a related field. Equivalent experience will be considered.

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables and data analysis.
• Proficiency in PowerPoint and Word, with the ability to produce executive-level presentations and reports.
• Experience with data visualisation tools, process automation, reporting platforms or basic coding is preferred.
• Experience supporting architecture, construction, real estate, facilities management or project management organisations is a plus.
