    A portfolio manager is essential for companies balancing a large programme of projects


    Portfolio management is the selection, prioritisation and control of an organisation's programmes and projects, in line with its strategic objectives and capacity to deliver a successful outcome. 


    The primary role of a portfolio manager is to ensure the appropriate selection of projects. It is common for businesses to undertake a restricted number of projects annually and therefore achieving ROI requires a detailed risk assessment and optimal strategy.

    Our Approach


    Key responsibilities of a portfolio manager may include:


    • Aligning and prioritising projects
    • Monitoring real-time analytics
    • Managing financial resources
    • Creating contingency plans for potential risk scenarios


    We use industry-standard methodologies and years of experience to embed the right selection processes and resource management tools into your project portfolio management office (PPMO). We can run this for you 'as a service' or set up your PPMO and hire a Portfolio Manager using our own Executive Search and Selection capability.

    Use our Experts


    A proficient portfolio manager possesses a deep understanding of the business landscape and comprehends how each project aligns within it. They possess the foresight to anticipate the needs and wants of both employees and consumers, relying on market data and intuition to guide their decision-making.


    A proactive approach to staying informed about internal and external affairs, coupled with a thorough understanding of root cause analysis and motivational factors, is also essential.


    If your organisation lacks a mature in-house team to run a PMO with a Programme and Portfolio Manager, you can access our experts on demand. This option is also cost-effective for smaller businesses while they scale as it avoids one-off or large incremental costs.
