Head of PMO / Yorkshire (3 Days Onsite) / £150,000 + Bonus

We’re supporting a confidential organisation currently undertaking a major enterprise-wide transformation programme representing the largest technology and business change investment in its history.

The organisation is entering a critical delivery phase, with multiple work streams running in parallel across a large and complex transformation environment. As part of this evolution, they are looking to appoint an experienced Head of PMO to lead and mature the PMO capability across a high-profile programme landscape.

This is a highly visible leadership role with direct exposure to executive and board-level stakeholders, offering the opportunity to influence how governance, reporting, delivery insight, and programme performance are managed across a business-critical transformation.

• Proven experience leading PMO functions within large-scale enterprise transformation programmes
• Experience operating within programmes exceeding £100m in value and 200+ people in scale
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management capability
• Ability to operate confidently at CEO, Executive Committee, and board level
• Experience designing and evolving PMO operating models
• Strong understanding of programme MI, governance, reporting, and delivery analytics
• Ability to drive pace, accountability, and delivery performance across complex programmes
• Experience working across hybrid delivery environments combining waterfall governance and agile delivery
• Strong vendor and supplier management experience
• Ability to provide data-led insights and recommendations to senior leadership teams

The existing PMO capability now needs to evolve to support increased scale, complexity, and delivery maturity across the wider transformation landscape.

As Head of PMO, you’ll be responsible for building and leading a modern PMO function that goes beyond traditional governance mechanics - creating a capability that drives pace, visibility, insight, and informed decision-making across the programme.

You’ll oversee programme governance, reporting, management information, and executive-level insight while helping leadership teams gain a clearer understanding of programme performance through meaningful, fact-based data and recommendations.

A key focus of the role will be improving how delivery information is consolidated, interpreted, and communicated across multiple delivery streams, while modernising executive and board-level reporting practices.

You’ll also act as a senior representative for the transformation programme within executive forums and leadership meetings.

• Lead and evolve the PMO capability across a large-scale transformation programme
• Drive improved programme visibility, governance, and reporting standards
• Build meaningful MI and delivery analytics focused on productivity, velocity, and outcomes
• Consolidate reporting and insight across multiple delivery streams
• Modernise executive and board-level reporting
• Provide strategic support and challenge to programme leadership
• Drive programme pace, accountability, and operational effectiveness
• Manage relationships across internal teams and external delivery partners
• Ensure governance enables delivery rather than slows it down

• Opportunity to shape and modernise PMO capability at enterprise scale
• Significant exposure to executive leadership and board-level stakeholders
• Work on one of the organisation’s most important transformation programmes
• High-impact role with genuine influence across delivery strategy and execution
• Large-scale programme environment with major investment and visibility
• Opportunity to introduce modern reporting and governance practices into a mature enterprise environment

The organisation is looking for someone with the gravitas, credibility, and leadership capability to operate immediately at senior executive level.

This role requires onsite collaboration 3 days per week in Yorkshire due to the visibility and importance of the programme.
