It provides a single, trusted source of industry data and services for gas suppliers, shippers and transporters, ensuring information is accurate, secure, and consistently shared across the sector. By managing the central gas register and providing insight on gas flows across the network, Xoserve helps the industry balance supply and demand and supports effective market processes that benefit consumers.

Role Summary

The PMO Analyst provides structured support across Xoserve's change portfolio, contributing to the effective delivery of PMO services and ensuring the consistent application of project, programme and portfolio governance.

The role supports a broad range of PMO activities, including governance and reporting, document management and security, project assurance, benefits management, RAID management, action tracking, procurement support, and financial monitoring. As Xoserve continues to expand its in-house delivery capability, the PMO Analyst plays a key role in embedding consistent PMO processes, frameworks, standards and service offerings across the organisation.

Working closely with internal stakeholders and third-party suppliers, the role ensures the provision of high-quality reporting, robust governance, and accurate management information to support effective decision-making, risk management and delivery oversight across the project, programme and portfolio landscape.

Responsibilities

PMO Governance & Support

  • Support the mobilisation of projects and programmes by completing core setup activities, including establishing document repositories, enabling shared tooling, coordinating stakeholder access, and agreeing ways of working with third-party suppliers.
  • Support PMO Leads in the delivery of PMO services across the change portfolio.
  • Ensure adherence to governance frameworks, standards, controls, and PMO best practices adopted within Xoserve.
  • Coordinate governance activities, including meeting support, action tracking, decision logging, and follow-up of agreed actions.
  • Support the development, maintenance, and adoption of standardised PMO processes, templates, and service catalogue offerings.
  • Undertake assurance activities and support stage gate reviews to monitor compliance with project and programme governance requirements.

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.
