Portfolio and Project Assurance Expert

At our organization, we empower individuals to realize their full potential by delivering exceptional services in audit, tax, and advisory. One way we achieve this is by hiring and developing talented professionals who can drive results.

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented individual to join our team of portfolio and project assurance experts. In this role, you will collaborate with a high-performing team to deliver meaningful insights and pragmatic actions that drive real improvements in complex government digital transformation and policy implementation initiatives.

You will work closely with our Federal Government clients, supporting the team with scoping, planning, and delivering major assurance engagements that shape the future of public sector delivery - supported by a Senior Leadership team with decades of industry experience who are invested in your career growth and success.

This includes supporting relevant training and certifications in relevant project management disciplines.

• Support the scoping, fieldwork, and reporting of program and project assurance reviews, assessing overall delivery health and its delivery effectiveness, risk management, compliance, and maturity to help clients achieve successful outcomes.
• Work collaboratively with our program and project client teams to deliver real-time and meaningful insights with pragmatic recommendations that drive continuous delivery improvements and alignment with strategic objectives.
• Work alongside senior team members to generate insights that matter, using data analysis and clear reporting tailored to the needs of diverse stakeholders.
• Contribute to project planning activities, including the development of scope documents, workplans, coordination of project setup, and preparation of key project assurance artefacts.
• Understand and apply our assurance and evaluation methodologies, tools, and templates to ensure rigorous, consistent, and value-driven approach across all engagements.
• Champion our values of 'Empowerment', 'Boldness', 'Humanity', 'Growth', and 'Heart' promoting high standards across all stages of the project lifecycle.
• Mentor, support, and educate junior team members, fostering a culture of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development within the team (as appropriate).

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented individual to join our growing and dynamic team. In this role, you will play a key part in helping clients navigate complex change by bringing structure, insight, and a collaborative mindset to every engagement.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone eager to contribute to impactful projects and grow within a high-performing team environment.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in project management, risk management, business, or IT, as well as certification in project management methodologies such as Agile, PMP, MSP, PRINCE2, PMBOK, or similar.

A strong background and knowledge of project management methodologies, tools, and best practices are essential.

Demonstrated experience in program or project assurance, performance evaluation, and audit processes, with exposure to latest better practices and frameworks in delivering assurance within Federal Government, risk management, project management, project governance, and legislative compliance, etc., is also required.

In the absence of direct project assurance experience, relevant consulting or professional services experience in project/program delivery or strategic advisory is highly valued.

A strong internal drive, a growth mindset, and clear aspirations for leadership and professional development are necessary for success in this role.

Proven business development acumen and a natural ability to build and maintain client relationships are also essential.

The ability to communicate effectively across a variety of mediums, work in a multi-disciplinary team, manage engagements, and deliverables is crucial.
