- Aligning with IMS and ERP transformation, ensuring governance evolves alongside system change.
- Develop improvement capability across operations while managing and forecasting project resources.
What we’re looking for:
- Demonstrated expertise in PMO best practice, ideally within manufacturing, defence or similar environments.
- Proven ability to deliver measurable improvements in complex operational settings.
- Experience leading large, complex projects.
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at senior levels and present confidently to diverse audiences.
- High level of data and performance literacy, using metrics to drive insight and track impact.
- Experience implementing and embedding changes within delivery-focused organisations.
- Background in defence, engineering, marine, aerospace or other regulated sectors is desirable.
Why join us?
- Early finish on Fridays
