• Manage team capacity, work plans, and schedules across complex or multiple work streams to balance client delivery with Made Tech's commercial objectives.
• Mentor and coach mid-level and associate PMO Analysts, delegating operational tasks where appropriate to ensure their contributions align with the overall PMO strategy.

Delivery Assurance Support

• Establish, maintain, and mature PMO standards and governance across your assigned portfolio of projects.
• Proactively oversee complex dependencies and robust RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs, ensuring action plans are identified and remediations are tracked to conclusion.
• Schedule and facilitate high-level reviews and health checks for complex work streams/SoWs to ensure projects remain on track.
• Act as a senior figure and active participant in the Delivery Management community.
• Handle advanced stakeholder negotiations and manage expectations.

Capability Improvements

• Take a lead role in building and implementing plans to improve Agile delivery management and PMO capabilities across the business.
• Provide subject matter expertise in Agile project management disciplines to continuously elevate best practices and process standardisation.
• Partner with the Lead PMO Analyst to implement continuous improvements to the PMO service catalogue.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• Advanced Data Skills: Expert spreadsheet capabilities (advanced formulas, data validation, pivot tables, macros, and complex data visualisation).
• Delivery Experience: Substantial experience leading or supporting complex business change programs within the full lifecycle of cross-functional Agile projects.
• Stakeholder & Negotiation Skills: Confident communication skills with the ability to use soft power to influence peers, manage C-Suite expectations, and achieve required business outcomes.
• Commercial Acumen: Extensive experience in budget management, project scheduling, capacity planning, tracking the realisation of benefits, understanding contractual commitments and managing change control processes.
