PMO Lead

About the Role

We’re looking for a PMO Lead with a consulting mindset: structured, analytical, commercially sharp, and able to turn complex data into clear decisions.

This is not an administrative PMO role — it’s a problem-solving and delivery position at the heart of our strategic change agenda.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the PMO for key initiatives — setting governance, performance frameworks, and reporting that drive accountability and results.
• Use data and analysis to identify insights, trends, and dependencies across programmes, enabling evidence-based decision-making.
• Design and maintain dashboards and KPIs, partnering with finance and operations to track progress, cost, and value delivery.
• Challenge and support senior leaders, helping them navigate complexity, prioritise effectively, and focus on outcomes.
• Enable transformation at scale by embedding consistent project management and performance disciplines across teams.
• Shape continuous improvement — simplifying processes, automating reporting, and championing a data-driven culture.

About You

You bring the consulting toolkit — problem structuring, analytical precision, and stakeholder influence — and combine it with operational pragmatism and leadership maturity.

Financial, Planning, Resource & People Responsibility

• Strong operational planning and business management skills.
• Experience managing and controlling budgets, resources, and funding, with solid financial acumen.
• Proven success leading teams or multiple workstreams within complex, cross-functional environments.
• Demonstrated people and change leadership, with the ability to inspire and mobilise diverse teams.

Education, Skills, Knowledge & Experience

• Background in top-tier consulting or transformation (e.g. Associate, Engagement Manager, or internal strategy role).
• Professional qualification or relevant degree, plus substantial experience in project or programme delivery.
• Broad understanding of Procurement or cross-functional operations and how they interact to drive value.
• Proven record of developing innovative, data-driven solutions and contributing to strategic planning.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity — able to structure problems, synthesise data, and deliver clarity.

Influencing & Collaboration

• Outstanding relationship-building and influencing skills; able to challenge and engage senior stakeholders constructively.
• Skilled at navigating complex organisations and balancing analytical insight with pragmatic execution.
• Deep understanding of regulatory and compliance frameworks, and how they influence project decisions.

Analytical & Problem-Solving Capability

• Advanced analytical and problem-solving ability, with a bias for evidence-based decision-making.
• Fluent in Excel/Power BI or similar tools for data analysis and visualisation.
• Natural curiosity, intellectual rigour, and the drive to turn insight into measurable impact.
