- Maintaining a high-level overview of programmes of work, understanding the projects that are critical to the organisation
- Working alongside other key roles to understand risks and issues and re-schedule work in order to ensure efficient and productive outcomes

This role works within our large and diverse Digital unit and our ideal applicant will:

- Have previous scheduling, programming or portfolio management skills and experience, ideally within a digital space
- Experience in analytical, planning and modelling software such as advanced Excel, MS Project Online, or other portfolio management tools
- Bring the wow factor - through their awesome personality and aspirations for a bit of leadership and future development down the track
- Be happy to live in a somewhat fluid environment with the odd bit of chaos and who likes to get on top of problems and figure out solutions

Whether it be the opportunity to step up and develop your knowledge in portfolio management or to progress across different areas in the Council, you will have access to excellent internal and externally run training sessions - this role can offer it all

Our Digital department puts digital at the forefront of everything we do. Want to be part of it?
