No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What is this role?
We work with enterprise clients across energy, pharmaceuticals, retail, publishing and consumer goods on large-scale, multi-workstream transformation programmes, alongside client colleagues and other partners. Scope varies by engagement, but typically covers:
- Governance and reporting: Weekly status reports, steering packs, and holding the reporting cadence across workstreams.
- RAID management: Owning the risk, issue and dependency logs, chasing owners, driving items to resolution and escalating what stalls.
- Planning: Building and maintaining the delivery plan, tracking milestones, flagging slippage early.
- Delivery support: Running stand-ups and ceremonies, chasing actions, tracking budget against forecast, onboarding and offboarding team members.
- Stakeholder management: Coordinating and, depending on the engagement, owning relationships with senior client stakeholders.
- Coordination and documentation: Scheduling across client and partner organisations, workshop logistics, and maintaining document standards in SharePoint or Confluence.

On some engagements this extends to owning a workstream end to end, or setting up and improving governance and reporting frameworks rather than operating within existing ones.
What we are looking for
- Experience in a PM or PMO role in a large or complex delivery environment.
- Confident with the core artefacts: RAID logs, status reports, plans, action trackers.
- Strong written communication, able to summarise detail for a senior audience.
- Comfortable chasing senior stakeholders and holding them to commitments.
- Agile sprint-based delivery experience, with exposure to hybrid or stage-gated governance.
- Highly organised and self-directed, effective with limited supervision.
- Able to bring structure where little exists, and to operate comfortably in ambiguity.
Tools: Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, Aha, MS Project or Smartsheet, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Azure DevOps, Power BI, Miro and PRINCE2, AgilePM or Scrum certification are advantageous.
