We currently have a vacancy for a Senior Portfolio Assistant to join our Strategic Portfolio Office (SPO).
The SPO oversees the portfolio of programmes and projects which the Combined Authority funds. The schemes are delivered directly by the Combined Authority or through one of our partner organisations (in the public and private sector). Whichever the delivery route, the SPO has responsibility for ensuring that schemes meet the strategic aims of the organisation and have a robust business case to give assurance that they will be developed and delivered within the agreed time, cost and quality framework, in accordance with the Combined Authority’s Assurance Framework.
As our Senior Portfolio Assistant, you will play a role which is an integral part of the Combined Authority’s assurance process for schemes seeking investment.
It is important that you demonstrate how your breadth of experience, knowledge and skills align with the role when applying. We have therefore created comprehensive guidance for candidates, and you are strongly urged to read this before completing your application form.
