Key Responsibilities
You will take ownership of the seamless execution, governance, and financial tracking of multiple complex digital transformation engagements. While you will manage day‑to‑day operations and reporting, you will also step up to mentor junior PMO Analysts, handle advanced escalations, and work closely with senior stakeholders to ensure project alignment with commercial goals. Furthermore, you will play a pivotal role in standardising processes and driving capability improvements across the PMO function.

- Manage team capacity, work plans, and schedules across complex or multiple work streams to balance client delivery with Made Tech’s commercial objectives.
- Mentor and coach mid‑level and associate PMO Analysts, delegating operational tasks where appropriate to ensure their contributions align with the overall PMO strategy.
Delivery Assurance Support
- Establish, maintain, and mature PMO standards and governance across your assigned portfolio of projects.
- Proactively oversee complex dependencies and robust RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs, ensuring action plans are identified and remediations are tracked to conclusion.
- Schedule and facilitate high‑level reviews and health checks for complex work streams/SoWs to ensure projects remain on track.
- Act as a senior figure and active participant in the Delivery Management community.
- Handle advanced stakeholder negotiations and manage expectations.
Capability Improvements

- Provide subject‑matter expertise in Agile project management disciplines to continuously elevate best practices and process standardisation.
- Partner with the Lead PMO Analyst to implement continuous improvements to the PMO service catalogue.

- Delivery Experience: Substantial experience leading or supporting complex business change programmes within the full lifecycle of cross‑functional Agile projects.
