Portfolio Operations in PE?

I’m trying to learn about PE roles and specifically wanted to know more about what the portfolio operations aspect of the job entails from your experiences.
What are your thoughts on this area of the job, and is it a large part of the role, or do associates focus more on investments? 
 

Thank you in advance.
