PMO Lead - Salary: £85,000–£100,000
📍 Glasgow (Hybrid – 3 days onsite) | £85,000–£100,000 + Benefits
We're recruiting for an experienced PMO Lead to join our consulting client's team in a senior leadership capacity, supporting the successful delivery of a large, complex programme.
This is not a traditional Project Manager role. Instead, you'll lead an integrated PMO function, ensuring governance, reporting, assurance, and project controls are aligned across the wider programme. You'll be responsible for driving consistency, supporting informed decision-making, and embedding best practice across multiple workstreams.
The Role
As PMO Lead, you will:
- Lead an integrated PMO function across a major programme.
- Drive governance, reporting, assurance, and project controls best practice.
- Coordinate planning, cost, risk, schedule, and change management activities.
- Ensure robust programme controls and alignment across multiple workstreams.
- Produce high-quality reporting and insights for senior stakeholders.
- Support audits, assurance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Lead, mentor, and develop PMO and Project Controls professionals.
