In this role you'll partner with project managers and senior leadership to keep projects profitable and on budget, surface risks early, and bring discipline and insight to how the business unit plans, forecasts, and performs. It's a high-visibility role for someone who enjoys turning data into decisions and helping technical teams run a strong business.
Financial Management & Reporting
- Lead monthly project status reviews for the business unit, flagging at-risk projects and situations before they escalate.
- Own the financial picture for the business unit — track performance, build efficiencies into existing processes, and ensure work stays aligned with corporate standards.
- Prepare and submit monthly performance reports to the PMO, recommending adjustments to resources, projects, and expenses to hit annual profit-and-loss targets.
- Analyze key metrics, trends, customers, and project performance, and translate the findings into clear guidance for project managers and leadership.
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning for the business unit.
Governance & Compliance
- Ensure projects are set up correctly and in compliance from the start, including review of all contract documentation.
- Provide governance oversight by ensuring adherence to established processes and procedures at the project level, identifying gaps or deviations, and driving corrective action to maintain operational integrity.
- Support Corporate Governance initiatives.
Risk Management & Insurance
- Advise on risk allocation and mitigation in project delivery and operations.
Project & Team Support
- Partner with project managers and project analysts to support efficient project delivery and financial success, including hands-on research and coaching on project financial issues.
- Contribute across the PMO's focus areas — quality, data analysis, PM training, risk, strategy, data governance, and process improvement.
- Develop and deliver training to project managers on relevant financial and operational topics.
- Take on other special projects as assigned, bringing flexibility and a readiness to quickly pivot to address urgent, high-priority initiatives as business needs evolve.
