ABOUT THE ROLE
The PMO Administrator provides consistent programme administration and governance across the full engagement lifecycle — from estimation and contracting through mobilisation, delivery, closure and retrospective.
This is a second-line governance and assurance role within Delivery Operations. You operate the controls; you do not run projects. First‑line execution — project creation, resource allocation, reporting — sits with the Delivery Operations Analysts and Delivery Scheduling Leads, and delivery accountability sits with Project Managers. Governance in this organization is evidence‑based: Project Managers submit evidence against defined checklists and agendas, and you validate, record, archive and escalated. Meetings and calls occur by exception only, so the role scales across a large portfolio without becoming a meeting schedule.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Engagement Setup and Acceptance
- Operate the Delivery Acceptance gate at Closed Won: validate the Delivery Acceptance Checklist submitted by Sales; confirm the SoW, rate card, Deal Desk sign-off and resource plan are present and consistent, and that the Salesforce opportunity unique identifier is linked to the Qody project; file approved documentation and maintain the acceptance tracker; release to mobilisation or route gaps back.
- Assure a delivery-team review of the effort estimate has taken place before proposal submission, routing unreviewed estimates back to Sales, so delivery risk is assessed before commercial commitment.
- Support mobilisation: ensure project and timesheet codes, resource plan, governance cadence, document library and tooling (Qody, Jira) are in place; complete the Project Manager handover checklist, archive the handover pack and link it in Qody.
- Coordinate the initial engagement forecasts revenue and billing maintained separately from cost to preserve margin visibility so each engagement has a baseline to govern against from day one.
Delivery Governance
- Maintain the portfolio governance cadence and the RAID, decisions and actions logs; collect and quality-assure each engagement; evidence pack (risks, budget, schedule, change requests, ceremonies, Qody health) and track RAG movement. Missing or late evidence is recorded as Red; two consecutive Red ratings are escalated to the Delivery Director.
- Own the change-control register: log each change request with its scope, timeline, fee, cost, margin and forecast impact; track approval; ensure approved changes flow into Qody, the forecast and the SoW record. Every change request carries its Salesforce unique identifier linked to Qody no scope change is delivered without a corresponding commercial record.
- Monitor actual burn against budget per engagement and surface overburn and margin drift as exceptions; maintain the client spend-position data where the commercial model requires it. Client communication remains with the Project Manager.
- Track milestone completion against SoW billing triggers, flag due or missed billing events to Finance, and keep the billing schedule current.
- Keep the revenue/billing forecast and the cost forecast current as separate views through the engagement, reconcile against the Salesforce commercial forecast, and route exceptions to their owners, on a weekly upkeep and fortnightly board reporting cycle.
- Operate the bi weekly ISO 9001 audit rota: sample engagements against the governance standard, log non-conformances and track remediation.
- Own the agreed definitions of engagement types (Pre-sales, POC, Discovery) and assure they are applied identically across business units, Salesforce and Qody; flag person and role record mismatches across BambooHR, Salesforce and Qody and route them to the owner, so margin is calculated on consistent data.
- Maintain document-library templates, governance folder structure and naming standards, with a monthly sweep to assure every live engagements folder is complete and current.
Closure and Continuous Improvement
- Run engagement closure: confirm final delivery status, final billing, revenue-recognition inputs, cost actuals, margin position and open actions; lock timesheets; process the Qody debook; archive the project folder; set status to Closed. Only Delivery Operations can set Closed status.
- Coordinate the delivery-side revenue-recognition inputs with Finance at milestone and close. Recognition basis follows the contract type of the engagement; timesheet actuals are an input, not the basis; Finance owns recognition itself.
- Capture structured lessons learned at close into a live register, theme recurring issues, and surface them for process improvement on a monthly synthesis cycle.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Governance evidence arrives on time across the portfolio, and exceptions surface early enough to act on before they become margin or delivery issues.
- Every change request is commercially recorded and traceable from Salesforce to Qody.
- Engagements close cleanly: timesheets locked, billing complete, recognition inputs accurate, lessons captured.
- The audit rota runs every week and non-conformances trend downward.
