Recruitment Business Partner @ Delt Shared Services Ltd | Inclusive Mindset
PMO Manager
Location: Exeter, Plymouth, or Weston-Super-Mare (Hybrid)
Salary: Up to £55,000 p.a. plus performance bonus
Contract Type: Permanent, Full Time (37 hours per week)
As PMO Manager, you will provide centralised governance, oversight, and assurance across Delt’s project portfolio – ensuring projects are delivered consistently, compliantly, and transparently, in line with the Delt Project Delivery Framework.
You won’t be managing delivery teams day-to-day. Instead, you’ll sit above the detail; setting standards, challenging where needed, strengthening governance, and giving senior leaders absolute confidence in how projects are progressing, how resources are being used, and where risks sit.
This is a role for someone who is comfortable operating at pace, confident engaging senior stakeholders, and not afraid to ask the difficult questions when something doesn’t look right.
What you’ll be doing:
- Providing consistent governance and assurance across the project portfolio, ensuring adherence to the Delt Project Delivery Framework
- Proactively monitoring compliance and escalating risks, issues, and non‑compliance to protect delivery outcomes, quality, and value
- Ensuring high‑quality project reporting is produced and shared with customers and stakeholders, offering clear visibility of progress, risks, and budget performance
- Identifying and escalating cost and schedule exceptions, clearly setting out impacts and corrective actions
- Leading portfolio‑level analysis and producing governance reports that demonstrate alignment to strategic objectives and support data‑led decisions
- Working closely with Portfolio Managers and wider Delt teams (including Customer Relationship Management and Customer Architecture) to support effective customer delivery
- Providing accurate resource and capacity reporting to enable effective utilisation of Delt teams
- Owning and managing Delt’s project management toolsets, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and fitness for purpose
- Driving high data quality standards through regular review, cleansing, and improvement activity
- Acting as a critical friend to delivery teams – offering constructive challenge, peer review, and guidance to strengthen planning and delivery standards
- Embedding consistent project planning standards and maintaining clear accountability frameworks for PMO actions
- Building organisational capability by providing training, guidance, and expertise in project management tools, processes, and best practice
- Leading forecasting and recommending resource profiles over a rolling 12‑month horizon to meet Project Services demand
- Providing line management and leadership to PMO Support, ensuring clarity, development, and high performance
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience leading or managing a PMO within a large, customer‑focused organisation handling high‑volume, complex project portfolios
- Experience working across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities, including senior leadership teams
- Strong knowledge of project governance frameworks, assurance models, and reporting standards
- Expertise in project management toolsets (e.g. MS Project or equivalent portfolio tools) and formal project management qualifications
- The confidence to challenge constructively, influence decisions, and hold others to account
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and persuasively
- Line management experience, with the ability to coach and develop others
- Strong analytical skills and a data‑driven mindset
