This is a rare opportunity to build a PMO function from the ground up — defining governance frameworks, creating reporting structures, and implementing processes to bring consistency and control across multiple programmes.
You’ll play a pivotal role in setting up the foundations of project governance, assurance, and reporting — driving structure, visibility, and quality delivery across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities & Qualifications
- Design, implement, and manage new PMO processes, frameworks, and governance models.
- Establish portfolio-level controls, stage gate methodology, and assurance standards.
- Develop and maintain reporting dashboards, templates, and performance tracking.
- Lead on RAIDO (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies, Opportunities) management.
- Engage with programme and project managers to embed PMO best practice.
- Drive continuous improvement across tools, templates, and ways of working.
- Provide insightful reporting to senior leadership to inform strategic decision-making.
- Proven experience setting up or maturing PMO functions.
- Strong understanding of project governance, portfolio controls, and assurance frameworks.
- Advanced reporting, data analysis, and stakeholder communication skills.
- Confident managing complex RAIDO and performance reporting processes.
- Sector experience in utilities, engineering, or other regulated industries.
