PMO Governance Analyst
At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you’re passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.
The PMO Governance Analyst is responsible for ensuring that all projects are delivered in line with the organisation’s PMO governance and control framework. The role acts as a second line of defence for project delivery, enforcing standards, providing independent assurance, and delivering portfolio-level insight to enable early intervention where projects are at risk. The role partners with Project Managers but operates with sufficient independence to challenge, escalate, and enforce compliance, ensuring leadership has timely, accurate visibility of delivery health, risks, and emerging themes across the portfolio. Operates as a trusted source of control, insight and early warning – not as a support function.
Key Responsibilities
Governance, Control & Compliance
- Enforce adherence to the PMO governance framework, ensuring Project Managers comply with agreed methodologies, controls, documentation standards, and reporting requirements.
- Perform regular independent governance reviews, stage-gate checks, and assurance activities across the project lifecycle.
- Validate the quality, completeness, and approval status of core project artefacts (business cases, plans, RAID logs, budgets, benefits).
- Capture lessons learned and assurance findings to provide thematic insights and remediation recommendations.
- Identify governance breaches, control weaknesses, and delivery risks, and initiate corrective action or escalation in line with PMO thresholds.
- Act as the authoritative point of interpretation for PMO standards, controls, and escalation pathways.
- Support consistent application of PMO tools, templates, and processes, ensuring standardisation across the portfolio.
Portfolio Oversight, Insight & Early Warning
- Produce portfolio-level governance reporting and dashboards for PMO leadership, steering committees, and senior management.
- Monitor governance KPIs including stage-gate compliance, reporting quality, risk ageing, dependency management, and escalation timeliness.
- Identify cross-project themes, systemic risks, and recurring control issues, providing analysis and recommendations for intervention.
- Act as an early-warning mechanism, flagging projects trending towards client escalation, delivery failure, or control breakdown.
- Ensure governance reporting is accurate, timely, and evidence-based to support decision-making.
