Program Management Office Manager

This is a senior, hands‑on PMO leadership role where you will take ownership of the IT PMO for a large, regulated infrastructure organisation. You’ll play a central role in shaping how IT programmes and portfolios are governed, prioritised and delivered, ensuring senior leaders have confidence in delivery, controls and outcomes across a complex change landscape.

Key responsibilities:

• Leading the IT PMO and setting clear standards for governance, reporting and assurance across the portfolio.
• Designing and embedding effective controls covering planning, risk, change and financial management.
• Producing clear, meaningful management information to support decision‑making at senior and executive level.
• Enabling portfolio prioritisation to ensure investment is focused on the highest‑value initiatives.
• Working closely with Programme Managers, Project Managers, business sponsors and third‑party suppliers within a predominantly outsourced delivery model.
• Acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, providing constructive challenge and supporting delivery to time, cost and quality.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven experience leading an IT PMO across multiple programmes or a sizeable portfolio.
• Background in utilities, energy, infrastructure or another highly regulated sector.
• Prince2 Practitioner (or equivalent) as a minimum, with MSP and ITIL highly desirable.
• Strong commercial and financial control experience across fixed‑price and T&M delivery models.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and external suppliers, with the ability to influence and challenge appropriately.

Why You Should Apply:

• Genuine ownership and senior visibility, not a reporting‑only PMO.
• Competitive salary, excellent pension and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Hybrid and flexible working, with a culture focused on trust and delivery.
