Job Description:

A top-tier consultancy is seeking a PMO Governance & Assurance Lead to act as the primary authority on delivery standards for a flagship transformation programme. In this role, you will manage the frameworks that ensure every milestone is met with precision and remains fully compliant with contract requirements.

  • Lead Gate reviews to ensure work is ready for submission and aligns with payment milestones
  • Work with legal and commercial teams to embed SLAs, KPIs, and service standards into the delivery process
  • Lead independent audits and health checks to identify risks and keep the programme audit-ready
  • Turn complex data into clear, high-level updates for senior leadership and client stakeholders

Requirements:

  • Proven track record of heading up PMO governance or assurance for major, multi-million-pound programmes
  • Prior experience navigating the specific pressures of a BPO or multi-tower outsourcing contract, including a deep understanding of payment-linked milestones and SLAs
  • Expert knowledge of Stage-Gate processes, RAID management, and compliance frameworks
  • Ideally, you will hold a P3O, MSP, PMP, or PRINCE2 qualification.

Nice to have:

P3O, MSP, PMP, or PRINCE2 qualification
