About NextStep
NextStep connects top consulting talent with high-potential opportunities through smart, AI-powered matching. We partner with ambitious companies across sectors to place experienced professionals in roles where they can have a real impact. On behalf of a client in our partner network, we are currently looking for a PMO Manager to join their team.
About the Company
Our client is a leading UK-headquartered financial services group with operations spanning retail banking, asset management, and insurance. The business is two years into a £200m technology and operating model transformation programme, modernising its core banking infrastructure, consolidating platforms, and reshaping how it delivers services to 4 million customers. The Group Transformation Office is now looking for an experienced PMO Manager to strengthen programme governance and delivery assurance across the portfolio.
The Role
As PMO Manager, you will be responsible for the governance, reporting, and delivery management infrastructure that keeps the transformation programme on track. You will work directly with the Programme Director and senior business sponsors, ensuring that workstreams are well-planned, risks are surfaced early, and the right information reaches the right people at the right time. This is a critical coordination and assurance role in one of the UK's largest ongoing financial services transformation programmes.
What You'll Do
- Design and maintain the programme governance framework, including milestone tracking, RAID log management, dependency mapping, and escalation protocols across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Produce high-quality programme reporting for ExCo, Board, and regulators, translating complex delivery status into clear and accurate narrative.
- Lead the planning and scheduling process across programme workstreams, facilitating cross-team alignment and resolving resource conflicts.
- Run the regular programme cadence, including steerco preparation, workstream leads forums, and weekly status reviews.
- Identify delivery risks and issues early, work with workstream leads to develop mitigation plans, and escalate where required.
What We're Looking For
- 5–8 years of experience in PMO, programme management, or management consulting roles, ideally within financial services or other regulated industries.
- Deep familiarity with programme governance frameworks, including waterfall, agile, and hybrid delivery models.
- Strong analytical and reporting skills, comfortable building and maintaining complex programme schedules, RAG dashboards, and board-level reporting packs.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills; able to influence and challenge senior leaders constructively.
- Prince2, MSP, or PMP qualification preferred; Agile/SAFe certification a useful addition.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary of £80,000 – £100,000, depending on experience.
- Annual performance bonus.
- Private health cover, enhanced pension, and 28 days holiday.
- Hybrid working from London (2–3 days in the office per week).
