You will need to hold a good understanding of how Purchase Orders raised and how vendors are set up in the system. You will also hold a strong knowledge of relevant PPM tools.

For any Project Milestones, you will determine how these will be tracked. Where a Milestone is due, you will ensure the team is reminded where appropriate, determine whether the milestone will be met, and the business and financial impact of missing the Milestone.
