Portfolio Officer
Do you enjoy getting beneath the data, challenging what you see and turning information into meaningful insight? We're looking for a Portfolio Officer to help us maintain a clear and accurate view of change across Midland Heart.
About The Role
This role goes beyond portfolio administration. You'll monitor and analyse information from across projects and change initiatives, quality assure what is being reported and provide constructive challenge where information or controls don't meet agreed requirements.
You'll help identify trends, emerging concerns and dependencies and provide the insight needed to support portfolio planning, prioritisation and decision-making.

As Portfolio Officer, you will:
- Coordinate portfolio reporting cycles constructively challenging gaps, inconsistencies or areas of concern in project and change information.
- Review and quality assure delivery information, including RAG assessments, risks, issues, finances and benefits.
- Produce portfolio reports, dashboards and insight that support effective decision making.
- Analyse information to identify trends, recurring themes, exceptions and emerging concerns.
- Monitor milestones, scope changes, risks, issues and dependencies across the portfolio.
- Review resource, financial and benefits information and highlight pressures or exceptions requiring further attention.
- Support portfolio assurance and review activity, identifying gaps, exceptions and areas requiring follow up or escalation.
- Work with Project and Portfolio Delivery Managers to strengthen the quality and consistency of delivery information and controls.
