PMO Manager

Location

Near Macclesfield - Hybrid

Salary

£45,000 - £50,000

Employment Type

Permanent

I'm currently working with a growing consultancy that delivers transformation programmes across a range of public sector clients. Due to continued growth, they're looking to appoint an experienced PMO Manager to lead and develop their Project Management Office, ensuring projects are delivered with strong governance, effective controls and clear reporting.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys improving PMO capability, working closely with senior stakeholders and supporting the successful delivery of complex transformation programmes.

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.
