The incumbent translates complex portfolio information into clear insights, recommendations, and proposed actions for review by the Director and consideration by senior leaders and governance forums. Success in the role is measured through reliable governance execution, accurate and timely reporting, early identification of material concerns, effective remediation tracking, and sustained adoption of governance requirements.

Conducts portfolio health assessments and targeted governance reviews, applying constructive, evidence-based challenge to reported status, schedule health, financial performance, risks, issues, dependencies, benefits, and governance compliance.
Prepares findings, recommendations, and proposed escalation materials for review by the Director, and coordinates assigned actions and remediation follow-through to completion.
Leads the development and preparation of governance scorecards, portfolio health reporting, executive dashboards, management presentations, and materials in support of enterprise reporting requirements and governance forums.
Analyzes portfolio performance trends and emerging delivery risks and provides forward-looking insights and recommendations to support prioritization, intervention, and decision-making. Ensures governance reporting inputs and outputs are accurate, consistent, traceable, timely, and audit-defensible through disciplined data validation, commentary review, issue resolution, and production controls.
Supports the design and enhancement of governance KPIs, KRIs, scorecards, and performance measures, and leads their implementation, ongoing administration, data-quality controls, and documentation.
Identifies opportunities to automate reporting, strengthen operational controls, improve data quality, and reduce manual effort, and develops recommendations for approval and implementation. Promotes consistent awareness and application of the Enterprise Delivery Framework and associated policies, standards, stage gates, controls, and minimum delivery requirements.
Executes assigned governance monitoring and attestation activities; coordinates evidence collection, compliance reporting, and responses to audit, risk, regulatory, and control information requests; and tracks agreed remediation actions.
Builds credible day-to-day relationships across EDO, CIO organizations, DPMOs, Finance, Risk, Audit, Compliance, and delivery teams, and facilitates working sessions that align stakeholders on findings, actions, accountabilities, and next steps. Supports implementation and adoption of new or revised governance policies, standards, methodologies, metrics, and reporting processes through practical guidance, communications, training support, and stakeholder engagement.
Provides direction, coaching, and quality oversight to governance analysts, portfolio specialists, project resources, or other team members, as assigned, and escalates resource, delivery, or control concerns to the Director. Creates an environment that supports effective and efficient operations within the area of accountability and ensures day-to-day business controls are in place and operating effectively to meet obligations related to operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, AML/ATF risk, and conduct risk, including responsibilities under the Operational Risk Management Framework, Regulatory Compliance Risk Management Framework, AML/ATF Global Handbook, and the Guidelines for Business Conduct.
