This role offers the chance to take on a forward-facing, hands-on PMO position at enterprise level, supporting a portfolio of more than 100 projects covering IT, construction, fleet, and operations.
The Role
As a Portfolio Support Manager, you will:
* Champion project management standards, governance, and best practice
* Provide assurance, audits, and stage-gate reviews to keep delivery on track
* Lead steering groups, facilitate workshops, and report on project health, risks, and approvals
* Coach and support project managers to build capability
* Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, not just an administrator
This is a newly created position in an expanding PMO team, joining at a pivotal time as a new strategy is rolled out and large-scale projects continue to increase in volume and complexity.

* PMO experience in a large or complex environment
* Hands-on project management background with a proven track record of delivery
* Strong knowledge of governance, assurance, and reporting
* Ability to engage effectively with project managers, programme managers, and executives

* Experience with project finance would be an advantage
Why Apply
* Be part of a recognised PMO function driving best practice
* Exposure to a wide and varied portfolio of over 100 live projects
* Hybrid working: 3 days on-site, 2 days remote
* Salary up to £50,200 plus benefits
* A role with genuine influence, providing governance and assurance rather than pure administration
