PMO Lead

PMO Lead - PPM Tool Implementation Contract | 6 months initially | £500/day outside IR35 | ASAP start

A UK insurance-sector organisation is putting in a new PPM platform and needs a PMO Lead to own it. You'll be the main person behind the tool, setting up the PMO framework around it and making sure the change portfolio actually uses it. Some hands-on project management will be needed alongside the PMO work.

• Leading the PMO through the PPM tool rollout: setting it up, migrating data across and getting people using it
• Setting governance, reporting standards and portfolio dashboards
• Owning portfolio reporting for senior governance forums
• Tracking resources, capacity and project finances across the portfolio
• Supporting project managers and training them in the new tool and processes
• Running smaller projects or work streams yourself where needed

• A strong PMO lead background in governance, portfolio reporting, RAID and financial tracking
• Experience implementing or integrating a PPM tool (e.g. Planview, Clarity, Service Now SPM, Project Online, Fluid). Fluid experience would be a bonus.
• Some project management experience
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders

• Financial services or insurance background
• PRINCE2, MSP or P3O

• 6-month initial contract
• £500/day, outside IR35
• ASAP start, though they can wait up to 4 weeks for the right person
