• Provide first-line support to users of portfolio and performance tools, resolving routine questions and directing more complex issues to the appropriate team member.
• Maintain IT policies, procedures, process maps, templates, and operating model documentation.
• Support portfolio prioritization, governance, and improvement activities by coordinating meetings, tracking tasks, consolidating feedback, and keeping documentation organized.
• Help create and format communications, training materials, and other resources for internal IT initiatives.
• Coordinate training sessions and internal forums, including invitations, materials, participation tracking, and feedback collection.
• Work with team members and business partners to gather information, support surveys and follow-ups, and keep communication flowing.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to connect strategy to measurable outcomes through performance indicators and reporting.

It would be great if you also had:

• The ability to communicate effectively in both official languages (English and French). While not required, bilingualism is considered a significant asset and would support collaboration.
