• Prepare and submit monthly performance reports to the PMO, recommending adjustments to resources, projects, and expenses to hit annual profit-and-loss targets.
• Analyze key metrics, trends, customers, and project performance, and translate the findings into clear guidance for project managers and leadership.

• Support Corporate Governance initiatives including entity management, licensing, and board documentation, while championing policy compliance and serving as a liaison to the corporate Legal Department.
• Assist with compliance with corporate policies, internal controls, and statutory reporting obligations.
• Support the PMO Risk Review Board by maintaining a centralized database to track projects elevated to the Board — capturing current status, decisions rendered, action items, and outcomes — and managing the scheduling of Board meetings, follow-up sessions, and associated communications.

Risk Management & Insurance

• Advise on risk allocation and mitigation in project delivery and operations.
• Coordinate with the risk and insurance team on coverage matters, claims, and risk transfer strategies.

Project & Team Support
