- Lead Second line-of-defence delivery assurance for their portfolio
- Act as the liaison between the EPMO and functions, ensuring that initiatives are appropriately managed and controlled to enable successful delivery
- Drive and facilitate cross-functional engagement and interlock across all planning activities
- Maintain an in-depth understanding of all initiatives in their area of the DCC portfolio
- Ensure accurate reporting of the status of all portfolio initiatives in their area of the DCC portfolio
- Support the ongoing maintenance and refresh of the Enterprise Plan as well as supporting with Pipeline and Front Door management as required

What are we looking for?
- Portfolio / Programme / Project Management Expertise - Strong understanding of a range of methodologies, tools and best practices
- Business Partnering - Demonstrable practical experience of operating in a Business Partnering capacity within a complex organisation
- Assurance - Significant practical experience in design and delivery of assurance for programmes and projects, operating within a 3LOD model. Understands the concept of 3LOD and the role of a portfolio assurance service within a well-executed model
- Collaboration - Excellent relationship development and management skills with the confidence to effectively challenge others where appropriate, including at ExCo and SLT level
- Stakeholder Management - Ability to manage a complex set of stakeholder interactions, both internal and external, and resolve conflicting priorities if required
- Change Management - Ability to influence, shape and drive improvement initiatives and lead / deliver successful change in large, fast-paced and complex programme environments with multiple internal and external stakeholder groups
- Effective Communication - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with an ability to rapidly interpret complex technical information and provide clear, concise insight and reporting that drives effective leadership decision making
