• Facilitate project meetings, steering committees, and governance forums while providing clear status reporting and executive communications.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships, drive alignment, and support timely decision-making across competing priorities.
• Proactively identify, manage, and escalate risks, issues, dependencies, and change requests, recommending practical solutions when required.
• Ensure compliance with PMO governance standards, delivery frameworks, and project management best practices.
• Partner with Program Managers to support project intake, integrated planning, prioritisation activities, and continuous improvement initiatives across the PMO.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• University degree in Business, Technology, Finance, Project Management, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of progressive project management experience delivering cross-functional business and technology initiatives.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects simultaneously within a structured delivery environment.
• Strong knowledge of project management methodologies, including Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid delivery models.
• Proven ability to manage project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, and stakeholder expectations.
• Experience working with senior business leaders and technology teams.
• Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation, and relationship management skills.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.
• Experience using project management and collaboration tools such as Microsoft Project, JIRA, Confluence, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Office applications.
• PMP certification or equivalent project management certification is considered an asset.
