Senior Portfolio Management Consultant

Senior Portfolio Management Consultant

Ambu A/S is looking for a Senior Portfolio Management Consultant to join the Innovation PMO.

You will work with complex, cross-functional topics related to portfolio management, governance and business performance. Your role is to define the problem, build the fact base, align stakeholders, recommend solutions and establish ownership for implementation.

Reporting to the Director, Innovation PMO, you will work closely with colleagues across the PMO and senior stakeholders across Ambu.

We believe the best ideas come from a mix of in-person collaboration and focused individual work. That's why this role is based in Augsburg or Ballerup and follows a hybrid working model, with three days per week in the office and two days working from home.

Key responsibilities

• Cross-functional initiatives

  • Drive selected cross-functional topics from problem definition through analysis, recommendation and stakeholder alignment.
  • Define decisions, actions and ownership, and hand over execution to the relevant business owner.

• Portfolio governance and ways of working

  • Evaluate and improve processes for project portfolio prioritization, resource management, project governance and performance follow-up.
  • Translate business goals and requirements and input from subject-matter experts into clear processes, roles, decision criteria and governance.

• Analysis and decision support

  • Analyse portfolio, project, resource and business-performance information to identify issues and recommend actions.
  • Develop scenarios, recommendations and decision material for senior management.

• Management support

  • Take ownership of selected analyses and cross-functional topics on behalf of the Director, Innovation PMO.
  • Prepare recommendations, presentation material and follow up agreed actions with relevant stakeholders.

Suggested candidate profile

Skills and experiences can be earned in many different ways, and we understand that the best fit for the role cannot be prescribed on paper. You are likely to succeed in this position if you:

• Have relevant experience within project portfolio management, management consulting, PMO, business transformation or operational excellence.
• Have taken complex, cross-functional business problems from initial question to analysis, recommendation and agreed action.
• Have aligned senior stakeholders across functions, including situations with different priorities and no direct reporting relationship.
• Have hands-on experience with portfolio management, prioritization, governance, resource management and/or performance reporting.
• Have prepared analyses, decision recommendations and presentation material for senior management.
• Can work independently with loosely defined assignments, while knowing when to involve subject-matter experts and decision-makers.
• Communicate clearly and concisely in English, both in writing and presentations.

Experience from MedTech or another regulated industry is an advantage, but not a prerequisite.
