You will take an enterprise-wide view, identifying risks, opportunities and interdependencies across a diverse portfolio while providing independent advice and insights that strengthen delivery confidence and strategic alignment.

Key responsibilities


	Partner with faculties and divisions to guide the development of strategic initiatives from discovery through to investment decision-making.
	Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, influencing and challenging thinking to strengthen outcomes and strategic alignment.
	Facilitate workshops and discussions that help teams identify underlying business needs, clarify priorities and define effective solutions.
	Provide independent advice, challenge and assurance on delivery approaches, business cases, risks and governance requirements.
	Maintain a portfolio-wide view of initiatives, identifying interdependencies, risks, trends and opportunities that may impact delivery success.
	Support adherence to governance and delivery frameworks while contributing to continuous improvement across the portfolio.

	Significant experience working within project, program or portfolio environments and a strong understanding of the project lifecycle.
	Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, with a proven ability to influence, challenge and build trust with diverse stakeholder groups.
	Strong consulting and facilitation capabilities, with the confidence to ask probing questions and guide constructive conversations.
	Comfortable operating in complex and ambiguous environments, with the ability to adapt your approach and pivot as priorities evolve.
	Demonstrated ability to understand broader strategic objectives, connect the dots across multiple initiatives and provide practical advice.
	Excellent communication, relationship management and problem-solving skills, with a collaborative and outcomes-focused approach.
