About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced PMO Lead / Officer to establish and embed a brand-new Project Management Office (PMO) for a global utilities giant undergoing a major transformation.

This is a rare opportunity to build a PMO function from the ground up — defining governance frameworks, creating reporting structures, and implementing processes to bring consistency and control across multiple programmes.

You’ll play a pivotal role in setting up the foundations of project governance, assurance, and reporting — driving structure, visibility, and quality delivery across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and manage new PMO processes, frameworks, and governance models.
• Establish portfolio-level controls, stage gate methodology, and assurance standards.
• Develop and maintain reporting dashboards, templates, and performance tracking.
• Lead on RAIDO (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies, Opportunities) management.
• Engage with programme and project managers to embed PMO best practice.
• Drive continuous improvement across tools, templates, and ways of working.
• Provide insightful reporting to senior leadership to inform strategic decision-making.

Essential Experience

• Proven experience setting up or maturing PMO functions.
• Strong understanding of project governance, portfolio controls, and assurance frameworks.
• Advanced reporting, data analysis, and stakeholder communication skills.
• Confident managing complex RAIDO and performance reporting processes.
• Sector experience in utilities, engineering, or other regulated industries.
