A new opportunity has arisen for an experienced PMO Manager to play a critical role in driving effective governance, delivery assurance, and portfolio oversight within a dynamic IT function. This role will sit within the IT department, working closely with a broad range of stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of a portfolio of IT projects and programmes.
The successful candidate will ideally bring previous experience in the utilities sector (or delivering IT solutions for utilities clients), with a strong background in managing complex portfolios, ideally within largely outsourced delivery environments.
What You'll Be Doing
Take full ownership of the IT PMO function, defining and implementing robust governance, standards, and controls.
Support the Head of Programme Management in delivering a structured, well-governed portfolio of IT projects and programmes.
Drive project delivery to scope, time, cost, and quality, across both internal and third-party suppliers.
Establish effective portfolio prioritisation, financial tracking, and risk management frameworks.
Collaborate with senior stakeholders to support business case development, investment sign-off, and benefit realisation.
Provide high-quality management information and reporting to inform strategic decision-making.
Promote the adoption of governance standards across the wider business and coach project stakeholders on best practices.
Support procurement and vendor selection processes as needed.
What We're Looking For
Proven experience as a PMO Manager, ideally in an IT function delivering projects for the utilities sector.
Strong understanding of portfolio and programme management, with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously.
Demonstrable experience of working with third-party suppliers, including managing delivery contracts and service levels.
Deep understanding of governance, change control, financial oversight, and project lifecycle frameworks.
Confident communicator and influencer, capable of engaging with stakeholders at all levels.
Skilled in process design, problem-solving, and driving continuous improvement.
Degree-educated, with PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent project management certification (MSP and/or ITIL desirable).
What's in it for you?
Hybrid working model (2-3 days onsite in Newport)
Opportunity to shape and mature the PMO function within a growing portfolio
High visibility across senior leadership and strategic programmes
Collaborative and forward-thinking IT and Programme Management environment
If you're a strategic PMO professional with a background in utilities and a passion for driving delivery excellence, I'd love to hear from you.
