Identify opportunities to improve portfolio processes, governance, and ways of working, particularly in sensitive environments. Essential Criteria: Experience working in or supporting a portfolio, programme, or complex delivery environment, ideally from a digital or civils background, rather than single project delivery. Experience of stakeholder management across multiple functions, including delivery, commercial, and external partners. Experience of using the relationship between business requirements, supplier capability, and delivery outcomes. Experience supporting or coordinating commercial or supplier engagement within a structured governance framework Experience of working confidently with sensitive and classified information, exercising sound judgement and discretion. Strong organisational and analytical skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
