PMO Lead for the development of Naviair's portfolio and project management

Do you want to help develop and mature project-, program- and portfolio management in an organization that delivers societally critical infrastructure? Do you have experience with portfolio management, decision processes, project models and management support? Do you thrive in both setting direction and making things happen in practice? Then you may be our new PMO Lead.

The position

Naviair is seeking an experienced PMO Lead for our PMO, where you will have the opportunity to put your own professional imprint on the development of Naviair's PMO and the processes, decision basis, tools and management principles that will support the organization's investments and development in the coming years.

You will become a central part of a PMO that is strengthening the organization's ability to prioritise investments, deliver projects and create value through professionalisation of project-, program- and portfolio management.

The position combines strategic development with operational execution. You must both be able to develop decision processes, working methods and management information, and also be willing to prepare analyses, reporting, decision briefs and educational materials yourself.

You will continuously support the executive board and management forums with analyses, priorities and decision proposals and contribute to translating strategic goals into concrete investments and initiatives.

You will have a role with extensive contact across the organization and be an important sparring partner for managers, project owners and project managers.

The role is a professional specialist role without people management responsibilities, but with a real professional mandate. Together with the PMO chief you set the standards and decision processes that projects and investments across Naviair are governed by. For example, project model, gate criteria, prioritisation models and management information. These are standards that bind across the organisation, and you are the one whom managers, project owners and project managers come to when they need to translate them into practice.

Your tasks

You will among other things have responsibility for

• Further develop Naviair's portfolio processes, including intake, prioritisation, investment assessment and decision processes.
• Develop and maintain Naviair's project model, phase descriptions, gate criteria and review processes.
• Prepare analyses and decision briefs for the executive board, management, and decision-making bodies.
• Support the work with portfolio management, capacity planning and investment planning.
• Develop and implement tools for portfolio-, resource- and project management.
• Develop dashboards, management reporting and governance information.
• Establish and maintain the project portal, templates and standards for project management.
• Plan and conduct onboarding and training of e.g. project managers and project owners.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of the PMO as a competence centre for project-, program- and portfolio management.

About you

• Have solid experience with project-, program- and portfolio management, preferably with certification (P3O, MoP, IPMA or similar)
• Have experience with development and implementation of decision processes, project models and management-supporting governance principles.
