Project Management

  Working as a Coordinator provides an opportunity to build familiarity with project tools, the project environment, and how to work successfully in the project environment. The role is likely to combine general administration with basic project management in support of a more senior project manager or leader.

• Project Manager
  The Project Manager is responsible for driving forward the project delivery to achieve an effective outcome.

  A Senior Project Manager can lead more complex projects with higher levels of risk, are intended to have a greater business impact and will usually involve multiple stakeholders. They are too complex to be managed as a whole and will usually be broken down into sub-projects and stages, each with its own manager.

• Programme Director
  The title Programme Director might be used if the programme is particularly complex or high profile. Programme Managers may also choose to follow the portfolio management career path, responsible for ensuring programmes and projects across the organisation are successfully delivered, or they may use the significant skills they’ve built to move into other senior management/executive roles.
  

Portfolio Management

• Portfolio Manager
  Project Portfolio Management is a set of business practices that allows an organisation to manage a group of projects or programmes as a strategic portfolio. It is mainly applied when projects and programmes draw upon a shared set of resources as a method for helping the organisation set priorities and focus its use of resources and funding.

• Portfolio Director
  Although organisations use the terms Portfolio Manager and Portfolio Director fairly interchangeably, the Portfolio Director is typically a more strategic role.
  Typically, the Portfolio Director has greater responsibility for the portfolio strategy and for providing clear leadership and direction throughout its life. They work closely with the business to ensure that agreed benefits and other objectives are met or exceeded.
