About the role

The ePMO Senior Analyst will be one of the foundational roles as the ePMO function looks to scale and broaden its remit. It will form part of a tight knit team, yet will have exposure and interaction with a vast array of stakeholders, and has the opportunity to bring new perspectives on how to best evolve processes, tools and approaches to governance more broadly.

On a day-today basis the role will be required to collect schedule, milestone, resourcing, commercial and other key data points from teams across the Department and therefore has a heavy reliance on information provided by PMOs, project managers and / or project teams. This role will then maintain data and knowledge repositories to form an enterprise-wide portfolio view of Department priorities.

Supported by tools, processes and governance mechanisms, the Senior Analyst tracks the progress of this portfolio broken down by programs, projects or commitments. When data or inputs are queried, the role will then work with project teams to resolve discrepancies and ensure information is up to date and messaging is clear when reporting back to governance forums. A key output of this analysis will be identifying dependencies across the various workstreams, as well as proactively identifying emerging risks.

• Proven experience in program and project delivery frameworks, governance methodologies and tools. Preferably in relation to data or ICT or service transformation projects
• Highly developed interpersonal skills with the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders by anticipating, assessing, and meeting their needs and expectations. Demonstrated experience dealing with senior stakeholders.
