We make health happen!
At Bupa, our purpose is simple: helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. We’re a global healthcare company with no shareholders, which means our customers come first in everything we do.
We're looking for an experienced Cyber Lead PMO to play a key role in protecting and strengthening Bupa's global business. Reporting to the Head of Group Cyber Delivery, you'll lead the Group-level Project Management Office (PMO), helping to deliver cyber security programmes that support our people, customers and business worldwide.
This is an opportunity to work at the heart of Bupa's cyber security function, partnering with teams across multiple countries and business areas. You'll help shape how large-scale programmes are governed, reported and delivered, ensuring projects remain focused, efficient and aligned to strategic priorities.
If you're an experienced PMO/Project Manager leader who enjoys bringing clarity to complexity, influencing senior stakeholders and driving successful delivery across global organisations, we'd love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
As our Cyber Lead PMO, you’ll be the driving force behind our most important projects. You’ll:
- Lead and develop the Group-level PMO supporting cyber security projects and programmes across Bupa.
- Make sure programmes align with strategic goals, budgets, timelines and delivery plans.
- Define and promote project management standards, methods, tools and best practice across the Group.
- Create clear reporting, dashboards and performance measures that provide meaningful insights for senior leaders.
- Provide regular updates on project progress, risks, issues and dependencies.
- Work closely with Market Unit and Business Unit PMO and delivery teams to build strong alignment across programmes.
- Act as a central point of contact for cross-functional activities and programme dependencies.
- Support business change and communication activities that help programmes succeed.
- Track programme performance, including milestones, benefits, costs and resource utilisation.
- Manage financial planning, forecasts and budget reporting, identifying risks and driving corrective actions where needed.
- Support procurement activities, working closely with Finance and Legal teams to ensure compliance and value for money.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
