What You’ll be doing
Luton Borough Council is looking for a proactive and organised PMO Analyst to support the delivery and oversight of projects across the Council. Working closely with project leads and the PMO Manager, you will use your project management knowledge to provide practical support, challenge and guidance to help projects stay on track.
You will contribute to business case development, project reporting and PMO governance, ensuring the right processes, tools and templates are used. You will monitor project progress, budgets, risks and actions, highlighting overspends, delays and issues and ensuring these are appropriately addressed and reported to the relevant boards.
You will also provide advice on priorities, resources and budget management, while building positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders. The role will provide opportunities to influence improvements to PMO processes and support the wider Strategy & Development function, with the opportunity to deputise for the PMO Manager when required.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for someone with experience of working within a project environment, ideally with an understanding of both public and private sector settings. You will have a good knowledge of project management principles and ideally hold a relevant qualification such as the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ) or equivalent.
You will be highly organised, detail-focused, and confident managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced and changing environment. Excellent written communication skills are essential, along with the ability to produce clear, accurate reports and confidently present information to a range of audiences.
You will be confident using Microsoft Office and other IT systems, and have experience of facilitating meetings or events, resolving issues, and working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders. You will also understand the importance of equality and inclusion and be able to recognise and appropriately challenge discrimination.
The role may occasionally require attendance at evening or weekend meetings and events across the Borough.
