FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a PMO Lead to work for our client within the finance sector. This is initially a 6-month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role based in London.

Our client is seeking a highly capable and delivery-focused PMO/PSO Lead to support the execution of a critical Business IT Security portfolio. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment and has deep, hands-on experience in PMO/PSO functions. You’ll be embedded within the portfolio team, working closely with programme and project leads to drive delivery through meticulous milestone tracking, RAID management, and governance coordination. This is not a management or project leadership role—it’s a delivery execution position for someone proactive, organized, and confident operating at the heart of complex technology programmes.

Responsibilities

• Provide hands-on PMO support across the Business IT Security portfolio, ensuring consistent application of governance and delivery standards.
• Maintain and track detailed project and programme milestones, ensuring timely updates and early identification of risks or delays.
• Own and manage RAID logs, ensuring risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies are accurately captured, monitored, and escalated.
• Prepare and maintain portfolio-level reporting, dashboards, and delivery metrics for senior stakeholders.
• Support governance forums, including scheduling, agenda preparation, minute-taking, and action tracking.
• Work closely with Project and Programme Managers to ensure alignment across plans, dependencies, and delivery timelines.
• Ensure documentation, reporting, and controls are audit-ready and aligned with internal standards.
