Job description

We’re looking for a PMO Manager to join our team in Leeds city centre on a permanent basis. This hybrid role offers the flexibility of 2 days in the office. This is an exciting opportunity to build and shape a centralised portfolio management practice, giving you the chance to make a real impact on how Liberty Blume prioritises investment, balances demand and capacity, and delivers strategic change.

Working within the Chief Technology Officer team, you’ll play a key role in bringing greater visibility, control and insight across our technology portfolio, helping ensure our investment priorities, business demand and delivery capacity stay aligned. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role for someone who combines strong ownership and attention to detail with analytical thinking and practical problem‑solving. You’ll partner with project managers, developers, commercial teams, senior leaders and external suppliers to turn strategy into clear, actionable plans and build a portfolio management capability that supports the continued growth of the business.

Demand, capacity & resource planning

• Lead capacity planning across the CTO function and partner teams, making sure resources are aligned to the highest-priority work.
• Build a clear view of current and future resource needs, supporting effective sourcing, onboarding and allocation of internal and external capability.

Portfolio planning & prioritisation

• Own and maintain the technology delivery portfolio, creating a clear, reliable view across products, platforms and strategic change initiatives.
• Drive portfolio prioritisation, balancing business value, risk, dependencies and delivery capacity to help leaders make informed investment decisions.
• Manage the end-to-end demand lifecycle, from new work requests and prioritisation through to approval and delivery.

Governance, insight & reporting

• Turn portfolio data into clear, actionable insight, helping senior leaders understand progress, priorities, dependencies and delivery risks.
• Lead portfolio governance forums, bringing the right stakeholders together to make decisions, resolve trade-offs and keep delivery moving.
• Develop practical portfolio controls, standards and ways of working that strengthen delivery without creating unnecessary complexity.

Financial & commercial management

• Maintain oversight of delivery spend and forecasts, ensuring investment remains aligned with agreed budgets.
• Manage significant third‑party expenditure and support the effective governance of supplier costs and commercial agreements.

We tend to look for people with:

Essential:

• Strong experience within a technology PMO or portfolio management environment, with hands‑on responsibility for portfolio planning, prioritisation, governance and reporting.
• Confidence turning complex portfolio information into clear, actionable insights and recommendations for senior leaders, helping stakeholders make informed decisions.
• A proven ability to build strong relationships and influence effectively across technology, commercial, delivery and leadership teams.
• Strong working knowledge of Jira, Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with experience using AI tools such as ROVO, Microsoft Copilot or Gemini Enterprise to improve reporting, analysis and insight.
• Excellent meeting and workshop facilitation skills, with the confidence to drive decisions, actions and accountability.
• Highly organised and comfortable working autonomously, balancing changing priorities and competing deadlines in a fast‑paced environment.
• A strong eye for detail and a disciplined approach to data quality, governance and controls, ensuring portfolio information is accurate and reliable.
• A relevant portfolio, programme or project management qualification, such as MoP, MSP, P3O or equivalent professional certification.

Desirable:

• Experience building, establishing or scaling a portfolio management capability, particularly within a start‑up, scale‑up or rapidly evolving organisation.
• Experience working within a fast‑paced technology environment, particularly one embracing AI‑enabled tools and new approaches to delivery.
