The Role & Key Responsibilities

Job Title: PMO Analyst (12-Month Fixed-Term Contract)

Location: Peterborough (Hybrid)

Are you a detail-driven PMO professional committed to process improvement and operational excellence? Do you enjoy turning data into insight, solving problems, and supporting projects that deliver real business value?

We’re looking for an analytical PMO Analyst to join our expanding Project Services team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. In this role, you’ll support the delivery of our programme portfolios by ensuring robust governance, accurate reporting, and continuous improvement across our processes. It’s an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of project delivery, collaborating with project managers and stakeholders for consistency, transparency, and performance.

What you'll be doing:

1. Supporting project managers to ensure consistent application of governance standards, including reporting, RAID logs, and financial tracking
2. Monitoring project compliance against internal methodology, ensuring accurate documentation and alignment across the portfolio
3. Managing period-end processes such as financial reporting, invoicing, and work-in-progress (WiP) tracking to support effective budget management
4. Maintaining and updating resource utilisation data, helping the team to meet efficiency targets
5. Coordinating KPI and performance reporting for senior stakeholders, drawing on data from multiple systems and sources
6. Managing the central RAID log for both portfolios, identifying key risks and working with the PMO Manager on mitigation strategies
7. Supporting process improvements and identifying opportunities to streamline or automate existing ways of working
8. Helping with the onboarding of new project managers, sharing guidance and setting expectations for delivery standards

What you'll bring:

1. Demonstrated experience working within a PMO or project services environment, supporting portfolio delivery, project reporting, or process improvement
2. Understanding of project governance processes, with the ability to guide others in following them
3. Organisational and coordination skills, with great attention to detail
4. Skilled in working with data – analysing trends, spotting issues, and producing clear reports for stakeholders
5. Familiarity with tools such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Excel; Power BI knowledge is a bonus
6. A motivated mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and problem-solving
7. Clear and effective communication skills, able to collaborate across teams and work without authority
8. A motivated attitude and readiness to acquire new skills – we value the right mindset as much as experience
