    Are you interested in having a positive effect on the lives of Scottish citizens whilst dealing with some high profile but rewarding challenges? Social Security Scotland's Chief Digital Office are looking for a Portfolio Analyst to support with the enhancement of the Digital Portfolio Management Office function. This role will play a crucial supporting part in the planning, risk, reporting and governance responsibilities across the overall transformation portfolio within Chief Digital Office. The Chief Digital Office Division has a remit to provide infrastructure and systems to support both the wider Social Security Programme and Social Security Scotland.

    Social Security Scotland is currently experiencing rapid growth and through a combination of promotion and additional capability requirements, we are recruiting for 2 x Portfolio Analysts. These posts will support the design, development, and continual improvement of devolved benefits, and the supporting services to benefit the 1.4 million citizens across Scotland who rely on those daily.

    The Chief Digital Office (CDO) division is responsible for delivering the infrastructure, capability and digital solutions that will support the Social Security Programme. Working directly to the Senior Portfolio Analyst, the Portfolio Analysts will collaborate proactively within the Portfolio Management Team to support robust planning, risk, and reporting across various work packages in a fast-paced environment.

    These roles require analytical expertise and a high-level of proficiency in working with the standard Microsoft 365 suite (including Excel and SharePoint), to provide high quality portfolio support, ensuring effective assistance in resource planning, risk management, and other portfolio management activities. This will promote positive outcomes, and through proactive communication, facilitate interaction between complimentary projects and teams across the division.

    Ideally, you will have an awareness of the project lifecycle, agile and waterfall methodologies, and either resource forecasting or risk management. However, if you have analytical expertise in another area and a passion for projects and learning, we can provide training to support your development in these key areas.

    What do we offer you?

    We offer meaningful and engaging careers, a collaborative culture, and support for your career goals, all while nurturing a healthy work-life balance. We provide an employment package that attracts, develops, and retains only the best talent.

    • Workplace adjustments for everyone that needs them to ensure your comfort and safety in your new role.

    • Learning and development opportunities to support your personal and professional growth.

    • Career progression – join a rapidly growing and developing organisation with excellent opportunities for career advancement.

    • Health and wellbeing support including 24 hour access to our Employee Assistance Programme, plus counselling support available for all.

    • Discounts on gym memberships and retail outlets.
