PMO Portfolio Analyst Full-time, permanent 45,000 per annum Remote-first, with occasional travel to London or Yorkshire Are you a proactive Portfolio Analyst who enjoys turning complex delivery information into clear, useful insight? You will join a central PMO and delivery function, supporting a high-profile change portfolio in a complex, regulated environment. You will help Sponsors, Executives, Change Committee and Board-level stakeholders understand progress, risks, dependencies, resources and financials, giving them the confidence to make timely, evidence-based decisions. This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, organised and self-starting; someone who takes ownership, spots issues early, follows through on actions and brings structure and clarity to fast-moving change delivery. What you will do You will join a social housing organisation to produce high-quality portfolio reports, dashboards and analysis, translating complex data into concise insight that highlights trends, exceptions, risks and emerging issues. You will maintain forward-looking views of portfolio activity, milestones, dependencies and cross-programme impacts, helping to identify conflicts, bottlenecks and sequencing risks before they affect delivery.
