About The Role

* Manage and maintain accurate project and portfolio documentation within approved systems
* Support Project Managers and Portfolio Leads in applying project management frameworks and standards
* Coordinate forward‐planning activities, timelines and reporting deadlines across the ePMO
* Contribute to continuous improvement of reporting processes, tools and governance practices
