Costa Navarino is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Project Management Officer to join the Corporate Governance, Compliance & Project Management department, reporting directly to the Senior Director. The role is central to strengthening the company's governance backbone: building and maintaining the corporate repositories of policies, SOPs and projects on SharePoint and Asana, establishing the governance framework that surrounds them, and acting as Corporate Project Manager for cross-functional initiatives that sit above individual business units. The PMO will also provide structured support to internal audit activities, ensuring documentation, traceability and audit readiness across the portfolio. This is a high-visibility position that combines governance discipline, project execution and close collaboration with senior leadership
Responsibilities
Policies & SOPs Governance
- Design, build and maintain the corporate SharePoint database of all Policies and Standard Operating Procedures, ensuring a single source of truth across the organization
- Develop and enforce the governance framework for Policies and SOPs, including lifecycle management (drafting, review, approval, publication, periodic review, retirement), version control, ownership mapping and traceability
- Ensure audit-ready documentation standards and consistent application of templates, naming conventions and metadata
Project Portfolio Governance
- Design, build and maintain the corporate project database in SharePoint and Asana, providing full visibility of the enterprise portfolio across all business domains (Hospitality, Real Estate, ESG, IT & Transformation, Corporate Functions)
- Establish and maintain the governance framework for project management, including stage-gate processes from Business Case through to closure, intake and prioritization, change control, risk management, benefits realization and executive reporting
- Monitor timelines, dependencies, risks and milestones; produce executive dashboards and performance insights to support informed decision-making
Corporate Project Management
- Act as Corporate Project Manager for cross-functional or enterprise-wide initiatives with no clear single Business Owner, driving them end-to-end from initiation to closure
- Coordinate stakeholders across departments, ensure governance discipline, and maintain alignment with strategic priorities
Internal Audit Support
- Provide structured support to internal audit activities by ensuring that policies, SOPs, project documentation and governance artifacts are complete, current and readily retrievable
- Act as a coordination point between auditors and process owners, tracking findings and remediation actions through to closure
Tools & Continuous Improvement
- Serve as the power user and administrator for SharePoint (document management, governance sites, permissions) and Asana (or equivalent PM tool) for portfolio tracking and collaboration
- Continuously improve PMO tools, templates, workflows and reporting standards, leveraging Microsoft 365 capabilities (Power Automate, Power BI, Lists) where relevant
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Engineering, IT, Finance or a related field; postgraduate qualification is an advantage
- 6+ years of experience in PMO, project governance, corporate governance or management consulting roles, ideally within complex multi-entity organizations

- Strong proficiency in Asana or a comparable enterprise project management tool (e.g., Monday.com, Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Wrike); ability to assess, configure and administer such platforms at portfolio level
- Solid understanding of project management methodologies and governance frameworks (Waterfall, Agile, hybrid); PMP, PRINCE2 or Agile certification is a strong advantage
- Proven experience in the governance and lifecycle management of Policies and SOPs, including design of controls, templates and review cycles
- Exposure to internal audit, internal controls, risk management or compliance-driven environments is a significant advantage
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional corporate projects independently, with strong ownership and delivery discipline
