PMO Manager
Location: London
Working Model: Hybrid
Job Type: Permanent
Salary: Up to £90,000 + Bonus + Benefits
We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling global engineering and project services business to find an experienced PMO Manager to help build and develop its PMO capability.
The business is growing quickly across Europe and internationally, with lots happening across transformation, systems, operations, and strategic projects. They now need someone who can bring structure, visibility, and accountability to how these initiatives are managed and delivered.
This is a newly created role with genuine scope, autonomy, and exposure. Reporting to the Group CFO, you’ll help shape the PMO, improve project delivery, and ensure key initiatives keep moving across the Group.
We’re particularly interested in people who have built or developed PMO functions within engineering, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, or another project-led environment. Experience within a Private Equity-backed business would also be highly advantageous, particularly around transformation, due diligence, exit readiness, or building stronger governance and reporting.
The Role
This is much more than project coordination. You’ll be helping to build and shape the PMO capability while working across some of the Group’s most important strategic projects.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Building and developing PMO frameworks, governance, and reporting across the Group.
- Managing the portfolio of strategic projects and helping drive successful delivery.
- Bringing structure and consistency to multiple projects and workstreams across different countries.
- Producing clear reporting, dashboards, and insights for the Executive Team and Board.
- Tracking milestones, risks, budgets, dependencies, and overall project performance.
- Working closely with senior stakeholders to drive accountability and keep projects moving.
- Improving PMO processes, reporting, tooling, and project governance.
- Supporting transformation, operational improvement, and other strategic initiatives as the business continues to scale.
About You
We’re looking for a confident, organised, and commercially-minded PMO professional who enjoys building, improving, and getting things done.
You’ll be comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where everything isn’t already perfectly structured. You’ll need to be able to create that structure, influence senior stakeholders, and help turn strategic priorities into deliverable plans.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Experience building, developing, or improving a PMO within a global or multi-site business.
- Experience within engineering, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, or another project-led environment.
- Strong programme governance, reporting, and project delivery skills.
- The confidence to manage and organise multiple workstreams across different countries.
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to challenge and influence senior people.
- A hands-on approach and the autonomy to make things happen.
- Experience within a PE-backed environment, due diligence, exit readiness, or significant business transformation would be highly advantageous.
