We’re looking for an experienced Portfolio Manager
We’re looking for an experienced Portfolio Manager to help shape, coordinate and enable the delivery of the National Trust’s Financial Growth Portfolio, a key part of our ten-year strategy.
You’ll play a pivotal role in enabling the work of the portfolio, helping senior stakeholders navigate challenges, understand risks and dependencies, maintain momentum and stay focused on delivering outcomes.
What it's like to work here
You’ll work as part of the Financial Growth Portfolio, supporting strategic delivery across a broad range of growth priorities and reporting to the Head of Planning & Programmes, with a functional connection into the Strategic Portfolio.
As a member of the wider portfolio, programme and project management community, you’ll have opportunities to share learning, develop best practice and contribute to the continued evolution of strategic delivery across the Trust.
Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you are based at other times. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.
