About the job

Do you coordinate projects while keeping the big picture in mind? 

As a Project Management Office Specialist, you ensure that many projects become a well-managed portfolio. You create transparency and clarity, set priorities, and bring people, information, and decisions together. In doing so, you support project managers, programme management, and leadership committees, provide sound decision-making bases, and actively develop our standards, methods, and processes in project management.

Your Tasks

• You build the PMO in close collaboration with programme management, operate it, and continuously develop it. 
• You manage the project portfolio, create transparency about status, priorities, resources, and dependencies, and maintain an overall view. 
• You establish uniform standards, methods, processes, and tools and ensure their quality and application. 
• You support project managers in planning, controlling, and implementing their projects and promote consistent project work. 
• You prepare status reports, analyses, key figures, and decision-making bases for management. 
• You coordinate interfaces, identify risks and need for action early, and drive the professionalisation of project management forward. 

Your Profile

• You have solid experience in project management, ideally with several years of experience in the real estate sector, and possess strong organisational talent. 
• You are experienced in managing demanding projects, keep an overview even with several parallel initiatives, and confidently set the right priorities. 
• You are IT-savvy and familiar with modern project management methods, agile working methods, and change management. 
• You think in a networked and conceptual way, quickly grasp complex issues, and develop pragmatic, sustainable solutions. 
• You enjoy further developing processes, standards, and structures, create transparency, and prepare sound decision-making bases tailored to the audience. 
• You communicate convincingly, present yourself confidently to different stakeholders, and know how to bring different perspectives together into viable solutions.
