• Co\-ordinating the collation of progress updates from workstream leads and producing draft programme reports for the PMO Lead/Manager, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all workstreams.


• Maintaining programme budget tracking records, supporting procurement and purchase order processes as required.


• Acting as day\-to\-day point of contact for workstream teams on PMO queries, providing guidance on tools, templates, and governance processes.

You will bring solid coordination and administrative experience from a professional environment, with the organisational skills and attention to detail needed to keep a complex programme running smoothly.

You will have a collaborative and positive approach to teamwork, good written and verbal communication skills, and strong IT proficiency across the Microsoft Office suite.

You’ll also have:

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when handling documents, logs, and data.


• Good written and verbal communication skills, including confidence preparing meeting notes and reports.
