  • Identify process gaps, documentation issues, and opportunities to improve repeatability, usability, and consistency across governance practices
  • Support stage gate and readiness discussions, capture meeting outcomes, and escalate blockers to TPMO leadership in a timely manner
  • Help TPMO leaders maintain momentum across multiple concurrent priorities in a cross-functional, matrixed environment

Skills

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to synthesize information from multiple sources into clear, audience-appropriate materials
  • Demonstrated ability to create status updates, meeting notes, leadership summaries, and governance dashboards
  • Working knowledge of project lifecycle, governance frameworks, stage gate processes, risk management, and PMO practices
  • Proficiency or ability to quickly learn tools including SharePoint, Jira, Power BI, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Exceptional organizational skills with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through on assigned work
  • Ability to operate independently on assigned tasks while collaborating effectively within a team environment
  • Professional judgment, curiosity, coachability, and comfort asking clarifying questions to resolve ambiguity
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to build credibility with program teams and senior stakeholders
  • Nice to have: familiarity with SAP S/4HANA, SAP project delivery, utility industry environments, or formal PMP or Agile training and certification

Experience

  • Approximately 2 to 5 years of experience in project management, PMO coordination, governance, transformation delivery, or related enterprise project roles
  • Demonstrated experience supporting project plans, milestones, risks, issues, dependencies, meeting follow-ups, and action item tracking
  • Prior exposure to enterprise PMO environments, governance frameworks, or large-scale transformation programs is preferred
  • Experience working in cross-functional, matrixed organizations with multiple stakeholder groups is strongly preferred

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Technology, Project Management, or a related field preferred
  • PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, or Agile certification is a plus but not required
