They are looking for a Senior PMO Analyst to join the team. The PMO team plays a crucial role in ensuring that the right projects are prioritised to maximise the portfolio’s value. They are dedicated to delivering projects on time, within budget, and up to quality standards, providing early warning if any issues arise, to stay as close to the targets as possible. Additionally, they hold sponsors accountable for realising the benefits, ensuring that the value promised in the business case is achieved. As a Senior EPMO Analyst, you will act as the deputy to the Senior EPMO Manager, making critical decisions in their absence.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to make a substantial impact within the organization.


Your new role

In this role, you will be responsible for a section of the Transformation Delivery Portfolio of change, focusing on managing and improving several key areas. You will oversee the governance and stage gate lifecycle, ensuring that projects progress smoothly through each phase. Effective management of risks, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAID) will be crucial to mitigate potential challenges and ensure project success.


You will also be tasked with producing regular project status reports, providing clear and concise updates on progress. Pipeline management will be another critical aspect, where you will ensure that the flow of projects is well-organised and prioritised. Additionally, you will handle resource allocation, demand, and capacity planning to ensure that projects have the necessary resources to be completed efficiently.


Maintaining accurate project data in the PPM system will be essential, as well as conducting regular check-ins and project health checks to monitor ongoing progress. You will manage finance trackers to keep a close eye on project budgets and expenditures. In the absence of the Senior EPMO Manager, you will deputise and make important decisions to keep projects on track.

This role offers a dynamic and impactful opportunity to contribute to the successful delivery of transformational projects.


What you'll need to succeed

To be a successful candidate in this role, you will need a Project Management Certification or significant exposure to Change Delivery within IT and Business programmes. This foundational knowledge will equip you to handle the complexities of the projects you’ll be managing.


Experience of working within EPMO functions is crucial. You should be adept at managing RAID logs and supporting Delivery Leads across both Agile and Waterfall methodologies. This experience will help you navigate the various challenges that arise during project delivery.


Advanced Excel skills are essential for this role. You should be comfortable with Nested IF Statements, pivot tables, and XLookups. Proficiency in VBA is highly desirable, as it will enable you to automate and streamline processes effectively.


Familiarity with PowerBI and SQL is advantageous, with a particular emphasis on PowerBI. This skill set will allow you to create insightful reports and dashboards, providing valuable data-driven insights to support decision-making.
