Description

We are seeking a PMO Analytics & Reporting Specialist to support our Program Management Office (PMO) with accurate, consistent, and actionable reporting across the portfolio. You will build and maintain dashboards, standardize metrics and definitions, automate recurring reporting, and partner with Program/Project Managers to turn data into insights that improve planning and execution.

In this role, you will be the PMO’s go-to expert for BI tooling (e.g., Power BI) and reporting workflows, connecting to data sources such as Jira, Smartsheet, SharePoint/Excel, and other operational systems. You will also apply AI-assisted analysis to speed up insight generation (e.g., variance explanations, trend summaries, draft executive narratives) while ensuring outputs are accurate, traceable, and appropriate for the audience.

You will ensure reporting is reliable, governed, and easy for stakeholders to consume - from team-level views to executive readouts.

Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.
