Junior PMO Analyst
Level: Entry‑level / Early career
Experience: Interest in PMO/project work, self‑study, bootcamp graduates, or up to 12 months’ experience
About the Role
We’re partnering with an organisation that’s looking for a Junior PMO Analyst to support projects and programmes across the business. This role is a great fit for someone early in their career who wants to learn how projects are planned, governed, and delivered in a real operational environment.
You’ll work closely with the PMO team, supporting Project and Programme Managers with reporting, scheduling, financial tracking, and general governance activities. Over time, you’ll build confidence and develop strong PMO skills through hands‑on experience, clear processes, and guidance from experienced colleagues.
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you’ll help the delivery teams by:
* Keeping project and programme documentation up to date (plans, RAID logs, status reports)
* Supporting project scheduling and tracking key milestones
* Assisting with basic financial tasks such as budgets, forecasts, and actuals
* Updating PMO dashboards and regular reports
* Helping maintain accurate data across project tools and spreadsheets
* Preparing materials for governance meetings and stakeholder updates
* Making sure PMO standards, templates, and ways of working are followed
* Learning how projects are prioritised and governed at a portfolio level
You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, grow your confidence, and gradually take on more responsibility.
Requirements
Essential Requirements
To do well in this role, you’ll need:
* An interest in projects, change delivery, or PMO work
* Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach
* Confidence working with data, spreadsheets, and reports
* Good written and verbal communication skills

* Eligibility to work in the UK
* Ability to obtain SC clearance
We welcome applications from:

* Foundation project qualifications (e.g., PRINCE2 Foundation, APM PFQ, Agile/Scrum Foundation)
* Experience with Power BI or reporting tools
* Good Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables, data validation)
* Any experience supporting projects, even outside a formal PMO role
* Familiarity with project artefacts like RAID logs, plans, or status reports
If you’re working towards any of these, that’s absolutely fine.
