Role Summary
The PMO Enablement Specialist strengthens the IT PMO by coordinating PM-facing programs, supporting PM community development, organizing Continuous Improvement Advisory Council (CIAC) activities, maintaining PMO resource accessibility, and improving PM navigation and experience.

• Coordinate onboarding logistics for new PM staff to ensure structure, consistency, and clarity.
• Provide PMs organized access to PMO resources, guides, calendars, role maps, and navigation materials.
• Schedule onboarding touchpoints with Framework, Agile, Digital Tools, and Training leaders.
• Maintain the PMO “Where to Go for What” guide and ensure PM-facing spaces remain structured and intuitive.
• Manage 1–2 small, low-risk PMO internal projects (CoP modernization, CIAC workflow improvements, PMO resource organization).
• Provide basic scheduling, tracking, and milestone visibility to PMO leaders.
• Maintain the master PMO calendar (CoP, CIAC, Office Hours, readiness cycles, events) and publish monthly or quarterly “PMO at a Glance” views.
• Track PM participation across PMO programs (CoP, CIAC, Office Hours, onboarding) to identify engagement patterns and improvement opportunities
