Overview
Group PMO Director
Location: Remote working arrangement (based in a European country where Morgan Advanced Materials operates)
Morgan Advanced Materials is a global materials science and engineering business with around 8,000 employees across more than 30 countries. They design and manufacture advanced materials that solve complex challenges across industries including healthcare, energy, transport, electronics, defence and industrial manufacturing. This role sits at the centre of some of the company's most important strategic initiatives. It's not about maintaining project plans from the side-lines. You'll help drive major business, operational, technology and transformation projects, making sure the right people stay aligned, risks are managed early, and delivery remains on track. If you've led complex programmes across multiple functions, countries and stakeholder groups, and you're comfortable bringing structure to ambiguity, this could be worth a conversation.
The Role
As Group PMO Director, you'll oversee a portfolio of strategic projects that support the organisation's growth, transformation and operational performance. You'll work closely with senior leaders, project teams and external partners to ensure projects deliver the outcomes they're supposed to, not just tick boxes. You'll be the person connecting the dots across multiple initiatives, managing dependencies, highlighting risks before they become problems, and providing the governance and visibility needed to keep things moving.
