Project Portfolio information

What is a project portfolio?

A Project Portfolio is a collection of projects and programs that are managed and coordinated as a group to achieve strategic business objectives. It allows organizations to prioritize resources, balance risks, and ensure that all projects align with overall business goals. Effective project portfolio management helps organizations make informed decisions about which projects to pursue, continue, or discontinue. By regularly reviewing the portfolio, companies can adapt to changing priorities and maximize the value of their investments.

How does a project portfolio manager typically prioritize projects and manage competing deadlines within an organization?

A Project Portfolio Manager usually prioritizes projects by aligning them with the organization’s strategic goals, resource availability, and risk assessment. They often work closely with senior leadership, project managers, and stakeholders to assess project value and urgency, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently. Managing competing deadlines involves regular portfolio reviews, adjusting timelines as needed, and proactively communicating changes or risks to all involved parties. This collaborative approach helps the organization achieve its objectives while maintaining a balanced workload across teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a project portfolio manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Project Portfolio Manager, you need a solid background in project management, strategic planning, and portfolio analysis, often backed by a bachelor’s degree and certifications like PMP or PfMP. Familiarity with portfolio management tools such as Microsoft Project, Jira, or Primavera, and advanced Excel skills are typically required. Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management abilities help you navigate complex organizational priorities and drive alignment. These skills are crucial for optimizing project selection, ensuring resource alignment, and delivering business value across the portfolio.

Both roles are essential but differ in scope and responsibilities, with Portfolio Managers taking a strategic view and Project Coordinators focusing on execution support.

Job description

Purpose.Performance. People.

The Role


The Total Fund Management ("TFM") department is responsible for the successful implementation of the Fund's investment framework. These activities are focused primarily on the Strategic Portfolio, our longterm vision for the intended investment portfolio composition five or more years into the future. TFM also works on the Total Fund daily investment cycle, including all the processes, systems, and data needed to structure the investment portfolio in response to the ongoing flow of cash and exposures into and out of the Fund. TFM consists of five groups: Portfolio Design, Research & Engineering; Beta, Collateral & Liquidity Management; Dynamic Portfolio Management; Trading; and Strategy & Business Management.
The Dynamic Portfolio Management ("DPM") group is a centre of excellence for exposure management of the Fund, ensuring the Fund remains aligned with its intended exposures while delivering value-add. This is achieved by optimally managing asset and factor exposures as well as through tactical asset allocation, within a Total Portfolio Approach.
Reporting to a Managing Director within the Dynamic Portfolio Management group, the Portfolio Manager will support the management of Total Fund's exposures across both strategic and tactical horizons. The role spans management of Total Fund strategic and tactical exposures, with an emphasis on effective implementation and value-add.
The Portfolio Manager will work closely with teams across TFM to design, evaluate, and implement robust frameworks for Total Fund exposure management. While activities are underpinned by systematic, model-driven approaches, the role also involves the application of investment judgement in the management of exposures, including the assessment and execution of adjustments and overrides where appropriate. The role will also contribute to efforts to assess complementarities across strategic and tactical horizons
