Overview

As the PMO & Portfolio Analyst, you are at the operational core of the Brands Services program management office. You administer initiative intake, maintain the portfolio system of record, and produce the reporting and analysis that Brands Services leadership uses to make prioritization and resourcing decisions. You track dependencies, surface risks before they reach a milestone, and prepare the materials that make governance forums decision-ready. In this role, you are the person who knows the true status of every active initiative in the portfolio and can explain what it means.

At Rithum, all team members are expected to leverage AI to work smarter, accelerate decision-making, automate repeatable work, and improve outcomes. You are encouraged to continuously identify opportunities to apply AI, data, and scalable processes to enhance productivity, drive innovation, and deliver greater value for our clients, partners, and teams while maintaining appropriate judgment, quality, security, and compliance.
