Experience working in a PMO or project support role within programmes or portfolios.
Good understanding of financial tracking (budgets, actuals, forecasts, variances).
Exposure to month-end processes or cost reporting (ownership not required).
Solid PMO fundamentals across planning, RAID, governance, and reporting.
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy.
Clear communication skills and confidence working with Project Managers and PMO Leads.
