Project Management Officer

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a leading international bank and wealth manager to find a highly structured, execution-focused Senior PMO Specialist to join their Central Digital & Technology Change Delivery engine.

This isn't a hands-off, strategic consulting role. It’s a vital, "sleeves-rolled-up" post where you will act as the operational anchor for a massive £100M annual technology transformation portfolio. You will be covering a critical gap, ensuring the administrative rigour, reporting frameworks, and action-tracking keep their delivery squads performing at their peak.

The Details:

• Role: Senior PMO Specialist (Digital & Technology Change)
• Rate: Up to £525 per day (Inside IR35)
• Location: London
• Working Pattern: Hybrid (2 days a week in the office, offering great remote flexibility)
• Duration: Initial 6-Month Contract (with a view to extend)

What You’ll Do:

• Administrative Excellence: Keep the machinery running. You'll own the day-to-day coordination, take minutes in deep-dive vendor meetings (e.g., with major global tech partners), and relentlessly track actions.
• The Reporting Engine: Compile and synthesise complex updates into crisp, executive-ready dashboards and steering committee packs.
• Governance & RAID: Pragmatically manage the portfolio lifecycle across Agile/hybrid frameworks and actively challenge central RAID registers.
• Financial & Resource Coordination: Track portfolio budgets, forecasts, third-party partner financials, and resource onboarding.

Who You Are:

• Tech-Shop Literate: You have extensive experience working within a fast-paced Technology/IT shop. (Note: Financial Services background is not mandatory—experience in a busy IT delivery environment is what matters most!)
• A Master Coordinator: You thrive on bringing structure to busy portfolios. Administrative delivery, tracking actions, and managing central workspaces (Jira/Confluence) is your sweet spot.
• A High-Touch Communicator: You possess the emotional intelligence and gravitas to firmly but politely chase Project Managers for updates. You are comfortable collaborating with distributed, offshore teams (e.g., in India and South Africa).
• Dependable & Available: You are reliable, execution-focused, and ready to hit the ground running to seamlessly cover this gap.
