About The Role

The PMO Analyst is an integral part of the PMO structure, typically working within a specific practice under the guidance of a PMO Business Partner. Think of this role as the “boots on the ground” for project oversight – directly interfacing with Project Managers and project teams to ensure that planning and governance standards are upheld throughout the project lifecycle. The PMO Analyst ensures that projects start with a solid plan, stay on track with regards to scope/time/cost, and follow the organisation’s delivery methodology and governance checkpoints.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Planning: Work closely with Project Managers during the initiation and planning phases of a project. The PMO Analyst helps ensure that each project has a comprehensive and realistic project plan. This might include assisting in developing the work breakdown structure (tasks, timelines, milestones), resource plan, and budget estimates.
• Ongoing Project Monitoring: Once execution is underway, the PMO Analyst continuously monitors project progress against the plan. They track key parameters such as timelines, budget and commercial health, and scope changes.
• Governance and Compliance Checks: Ensure that each project is following the PMO’s project governance standards and methodology steps. This includes coordinating and sometimes facilitating governance activities such as stage gate reviews, quality assurance checkpoints, and project audits.
• Resource Management: While the Planning team are working with the PMO Business Partners to allocate resources at a high level, the PMO Analyst focuses on low-level resource usage within projects in their practice.
• PMO Administration: Play an active role in maintaining leave requests, both absence and annual leave, ensuring that appropriate action is taken to keep project plans/schedule intact.
