Job Description

About the role

We’re recruiting for a PMO Manager to support the delivery of a strategic cybersecurity portfolio for our client. This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role—not a line management position—where you’ll work closely with another PMO professional and the Programme Manager to drive portfolio success.

The environment is dynamic and evolving, with limited structure currently in place. As the organisation begins rolling out major cybersecurity programmes, your expertise will be key in establishing effective governance, ensuring financial accuracy, and producing high-quality reporting and board materials.

This role demands a pragmatic and flexible approach, helping bring clarity and consistency to a complex landscape. If you’re passionate about enabling programme success through strong PMO practices, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Partner with Finance to ensure accurate budget forecasting, tracking, and receipting.
• Own and improve the governance model, ensuring portfolio consistency and effective ways of working.
• Support preparation and facilitation of monthly portfolio review boards and regular steering groups with the executive team.
• Work with the Programme Manager to maintain the programme plan, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and progress are visible.
• Maintain and proactively manage the RAID log.
• Produce executive-ready decks and reports that are clear, visually strong, and outcome-focused.
• Collaborate with delivery leads and project managers to provide supportive, low-overhead governance.
• Identify and implement improvements in reporting, tooling, and governance, flexing between Agile and Waterfall where required.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in a PMO Manager or Senior PMO Analyst role within large-scale IT or cybersecurity programmes.
• Strong understanding of governance, portfolio management, and programme controls.
• Confident working with finance teams on forecasting, accruals, and spend tracking.
• Excellent presentation skills and ability to create clear decks for senior stakeholders.
• Strong organisational and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across delivery teams.
• Experience maintaining programme plans, RAID logs, and portfolio reporting.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with evolving priorities.
• Experience supporting cybersecurity programmes or work in highly regulated sectors.
• Familiarity with both Agile and Waterfall delivery models.
• Proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, JIRA, and MS Project.
• Experience coordinating or facilitating executive-level boards and steering groups.

Candidate Profile

• Hands-on, pragmatic PMO professional who can balance structure with flexibility.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment and support delivery teams while engaging with executives.
• Produce well-structured meetings and high-quality board material that drive decisions.
• Approachable, with a focus on adding value over adding process.
• Comfortable in ambiguous and evolving environments, creating clarity where little exists.

What’s in it for you?

This is a 12-month contract with hybrid working (1 day a week) in Waterside, London.
