Job Description

The Role

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and delivery-focused Strategic PMO Lead to help our clients structure, govern and accelerate complex technology and business transformation programmes.

Working closely with executive sponsors, programme leaders and delivery teams, you will establish effective governance, provide reliable decision-making insights and ensure that strategic objectives translate into measurable outcomes.

This role goes beyond traditional project administration. You will act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, challenge delivery assumptions, anticipate risks and continuously improve how programmes are managed. You will also use data, automation and artificial intelligence to create a more proactive, efficient and value-oriented PMO.
