About the role:

 

Role: PMO Lead - Finance Operations

Location: Head Office, Leicestershire

Salary: Competitive plus bonus & benefits

 

We’re looking for a confident and proactive PMO Lead to join our Finance Operations team and take ownership of project delivery across a busy portfolio. With over 25 systems in play, your job is to help bring structure, visibility, and momentum to our finance projects — ensuring they’re delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with business needs.

You’ll report directly to the Financial Controller for Payments and Operations and act as the central hub for project governance, planning, and performance tracking.

 

What you’ll be doing:

Governance & Process

Own and standardise project frameworks, templates, and best practices

  Maintain project lifecycle discipline — from planning to gate reviews

 

Planning & Portfolio Management

Support project managers with planning, scheduling, and resourcing

  Maintain and communicate the central finance project roadmap

 

Performance & Reporting

Track performance across scope, time, cost, and quality

  Create dashboards, reports, and summaries for key stakeholders

  Spot patterns, risks, and improvement opportunities

 

Risk & Resource Management

Maintain project risk and issue logs, driving timely resolution

  Track resource capacity and forecast future needs

 

Stakeholder Communication

Act as the go-to contact for all project activity

  Help communicate progress clearly across teams and leadership

 

Continuous Improvement

Identify ways to work smarter and improve delivery outcomes

  Keep on top of industry trends and bring fresh thinking to the table

 

 

About you:

 

1–3 years in a PMO, project support, or coordination role

  Experience with project management tools (e.g., Asana) and reporting tools

  Strong analytical mindset and confidence with data

  Excellent communicator with high attention to detail

  A self-starter who’s organised, adaptable, and solution-focused

  Comfortable working across teams and managing competing priorities

 

A background in Finance, Business, IT or similar would be ideal — and if you're Google Suite and Excel-savvy, even better.

 

This is a key role for someone who thrives in structure but knows how to flex when needed. If you're ready to make a real impact in a growing finance function, we’d love to hear from you.
