PMO Manager; EMEA)

The PMO Manager is a leadership role embedded within the EMEA Project Delivery function. Responsible for the day-to-day management, continuous improvement and operational delivery of the Project Management Office (PMO) across the EMEA region. The role is central to Vertiv's objective of achieving consistent and repeatable project delivery regardless of complexity, technology or location. The PMO Manager owns the PMO's core pillars: process and governance, digital solutions framework, documentation harmonisation and performance reporting.

Ensuring these operate as an interconnected system that generates one Vertiv voice to the client. Reporting directly to the PMO Leader - EMEA, the PMO Manager translates strategic PMO objectives into operational delivery, drives adoption of PMO standards across the EMEA project portfolio, and ensures that all PMO processes, tools, and documentation remain fit for purpose and aligned to both Vertiv global standards and customer/contractual requirements.

The role works cross-functionally with Project Managers, Site Managers, EHS Deployment, Quality Deployment, Engineering, and commercial teams to embed PMO governance into the project lifecycle - from mobilisation through to project close-out.
