  • Coordinate with project managers, stakeholders, vendors, and cross-functional teams to gather accurate, timely status information.

  • Draft professional correspondence, announcements, and meeting summaries on behalf of PMO leadership.
  • Communicate directly with executives on matters of PMO standards, governance requirements, and documentation compliance.
  • Coordinate workshops, steering committee meetings, and project reviews, supporting leadership in preparation and follow-up.
  • Support change management communications when required.

Governance and Compliance Support
  • Monitor and enforce adherence to the organization's Project Governance Policy and framework across the capital project portfolio.
  • Support the ongoing development and refinement of the Project Governance Policy and framework as portfolio needs evolve.
  • Orient project managers and project sponsors to the governance process and their respective roles and responsibilities within it.
  • Support audits, compliance reviews, and governance activities, ensuring alignment with established standards.
  • Track risks, issues, and escalations, ensuring items are logged, routed, and followed through to resolution.
  • Maintain and update project portfolio records and governance logs to reflect current status and compliance.

Financial and Resource Administration
  • Track and monitor budgets, purchase requests, invoices, and expense reporting across the portfolio, flagging variances for PMO leadership review.
  • Analyze portfolio-level financial and resource data as required to support leadership decision-making.
  • Support resource scheduling and onboarding coordination for project teams.
  • Track contract renewals, vendor documentation, and procurement activities, ensuring compliance with PMO standards.

Executive Support
