Project Management Office Team Leader

The Agena Group was formed in 2019 as a UK based multi-disciplinary company. We specialise in parking and software solutions. Our mission is to disrupt industry norms, to innovate, and to provide professional, ethical, customer-focused services.

We’re working hard to raise standards within the parking industry, and to promote regulatory compliance. We invest heavily in our people to provide them with opportunities for growth and development, with dedicated programmes designed to help our employees fulfil their true potential.

Agena takes pride in the quality of solutions that we provide, the expert knowledge of our staff and the strong partnerships we have with our customers. We’re here to help you think differently about parking. Why not join us?

Position:

We’re looking for an organised and driven PMO Team Leader to lead and oversee our Project Management Office, ensuring the seamless delivery of operational projects across the organisation on a 6 month fixed term contract.

This is a pivotal leadership role focused on driving excellence in project execution, enhancing service delivery, and developing a high-performing team of Project and Planning Coordinators.

As PMO Team Leader, you’ll ensure our projects — particularly ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) installations — are delivered on time, to spec, and with a right-first-time approach. You’ll champion effective communication, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement across teams to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of ANPR installations, from initial surveys to site go-live.
• Manage and mentor a team of Project and Planning Coordinators to ensure KPIs and SLAs are consistently achieved.
• Maintain a clear, centralised view of PMO capacity and resource allocation across all operational projects.
• Foster a collaborative and high-performance culture across the PMO and wider project delivery teams.
• Produce operational and management reports to inform decisions and drive process improvements.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal teams (ANPR, Sales, Technology) and external stakeholders.
• Ensure project surveys are accurate and aligned with operational targets to support first-time-right installations.
• Resolve scheduling or resource conflicts with agility and efficiency.
• Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and team development activities.

The full role scope will be available on the job description.

Ready to make a real impact and drive operational excellence? We’d love to hear from you!
