Project-System Setup and Data Governance:

• Create and maintain project records within EPMO project portfolio management systems.
• Configure project attributes such as project owners, business units, strategy alignment, cost centers, funding sources, capital and expense classifications, and expected benefits.
• Support workflow setup for project intake, business-case review, funding approval, forecasting, and status reporting.

What We Are Looking For:

Educational Background:

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, project management, or a related field.
