My client is a leading investment management firm seeking a PMO Analyst to join the PMO team on an initial 6-month contract. This role will focus on supporting project governance, financial oversight, and executive-level reporting across a diverse change portfolio spanning front office, operations, and technology.

As part of a small, high-performing PMO team, you will play a key role in strengthening project standards, managing reporting cycles, and improving delivery processes across the business.

The PMO Analyst is expected to:

• Produce and maintain high-quality reporting artefacts including weekly/monthly status reports, quarterly board packs, and operational dashboards.
• Act as the link between the PMO team and stakeholders across the organisation – from junior staff to executive leadership.
• Support project initiation through documentation such as business cases, charters, and risk logs.
• Track benefits realisation and support structured project close-down and lessons learned processes.
• Identify and embed process improvements across PMO tools, templates, and governance frameworks.

The successful PMO Analyst will possess:

• Previous experience within a PMO or project support environment, particularly within Asset Management.
• Confident stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to challenge constructively and manage competing priorities.
• Strong written communication and presentation skills, with proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously.
• Exposure to Planview, and/or formal PMO/project qualifications (e.g. PRINCE2, P3O, APM).
