• Maintain accurate project records and documentation, ensuring information is well-organised, up to date and handled appropriately
• Develop experience across a broad range of CSD solution areas, supporting engagements beyond your core PMO specialism and building a flexible consulting delivery skillset
• Continuously develop and apply digital, automation and AI capabilities, embracing new technologies and digitally-enabled ways of working to improve delivery effectiveness, quality and client value
• Contribute to team learning, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement activities across the wider CSD team

• Demonstrated ability to adapt to new challenges, projects and client requirements
• Demonstrated integrity within a professional environment
• Understanding of client confidentiality, data security and the importance of handling information appropriately
• Flexibility to develop experience and knowledge outside of your original PMO skillset to build a diverse delivery capability
