This role in the National Portfolio Management Office will support allocating funding of a programme within our wider investment portfolio to ensure money is well allocated to achieve flood outcomes. This will include working with team members and external stakeholders, seeking technical input, and collaborating with local teams to manage allocations.

* Supporting and managing the FCRM Refresh process
The role is based in the FCRM directorate within the Portfolio Management Assurance and Commercial department.

The work is fast-paced, involving collaboration with stakeholders within the EA and Defra. We value development, wellbeing, and inclusion.
