Who We Are Looking For

The Global Client Implementation (“GCI”) department drives the successful execution of initiatives for external clients onboarding on our Front-to-Back platforms.

We are currently seeking a seasoned and ambitious Project Manager who can take charge of large projects throughout the entire project lifecycle or direct specific project tranches/key deliverables.

Why this role is important to us

The Senior PMO Analyst is the analytical backbone of the PMO. This role owns the production of all governance reporting, from weekly status through to board packs and steering decks and maintains the RAID log with the rigour required to make it a credible governance tool.

The defining characteristic of this role is the ability to transform raw programme data into a clear, honest management narrative. Not formatting. Not collating. Genuine analytical translation.

This role requires someone who can credibly challenge senior stakeholders, workstream leads, capability teams and client contacts and who has sufficient domain understanding to know when data reported or statuses does not reflect reality.

Your new role

This role is active across the following PMO activity domains:

• Programme Planning – maintains heat map MI; transforms JIRA data into progress reports for different stakeholder levels
• Reporting & Board Materials – structures and writes all governance packs; owns the narrative quality; challenges the PMO Lead if content is unclear or inaccurate
• Risk, Issues & Escalation – maintains RAID; scores risks; produces RAID summary for governance packs
• Client-Facing Activities – produces client MI and performance reporting packs
• Key Deliverables – tracks program key deliverables; produces weekly MI across

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the PMO governance framework across all program workstreams
• Chair cross-workstream coordination forums and resolve blockers that cannot be addressed at workstream level
• Review and challenge all governance pack content before Programme Director approval — RAG statuses, RAID entries, milestone status
• Draft and own all escalation papers presented to the Programme Board and Steering Committee
• Challenge workstream leads, testing leads and client contacts when reported status is inconsistent with observed programme performance
• Own the go-live readiness assessment and present it to the board
• Maintain a single source of truth for programme status, risks, issues and decisions
• Ensure the governance cadence is enforced - meeting rhythm, pack distribution timelines, action follow-through
• Manage and develop the PMO team - Sr PMO Analyst, PMO Analyst and PMO Coordinator

What We Value

These skills will help you succeed in this role

• Strong analytical skills – able to identify trends, inconsistencies and risks within programme data
• Executive writing – able to craft a management narrative that is concise, accurate and decision-oriented
• JIRA and Confluence proficiency – comfortable maintaining trackers and dashboards, not just querying them
• Risk management framework knowledge – understands qualitative and quantitative risk scoring
• Familiarity with financial services or asset servicing environments preferred
• MI design skills – experience with Power BI, Excel or equivalent; designs reports for usability, not completeness
• Able to work under time pressure without compromising accuracy – governance deadlines are non‑negotiable

Education & Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in finance, business, MBA or equivalent
• 7+ years of experience managing business projects in large, global financial service industry organizations or consulting firms
• Fluency in English
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, full English proficiency
• Advanced proficiency in MS Office and Project Management tools
• Advanced project management skills supported by relevant credential (PRINCE II, PMP or equivalent)
• Proven leadership and presentation skills, with the ability to interface effectively with an executive audience
• Ability to coach and develop a high performing staff

Additional Requirements

• The position requires office presence at least 3 days per week
