Your new role
We're looking for an experienced Head of PMO/PMO Lead to play a key role within a major transformation programme, supporting the implementation of a new operating model and driving greater structure, visibility and performance.
This is much more than a traditional reporting PMO role. You'll work closely with programme leadership and stakeholders, providing oversight across multiple workstreams and helping create a more data led, performance focused approach to transformation delivery.
Key responsibilities
- Lead PMO activity across a complex transformation programme
- Drive governance, programme controls, RAID and dependency management
- Support the implementation of a new operating model
- Improve the use of data, MI and performance measures to support decision making
- Provide oversight and coordination across multiple workstreams
- Provide clear, insightful reporting to senior leadership
- Challenge delivery teams and drive accountability and performance
- Embed effective PMO standards, processes and ways of working
What you'll need to succeed
- Head of PMO, PMO Manager or PMO leadership experience
- Strong large scale transformation and operating model experience
- Strong governance, controls and performance management capability
- Comfortable working with data and helping improve organisational data maturity
- Confident operating with senior stakeholders in complex environments
