  • You have extensive experience as a PMO Analyst, providing Project or Programme support within a business change or transformation environment, ideally within financial services

  • You act with integrity, accountability and a customer-focused approach, contributing to a positive team culture and strong portfolio delivery

We'd love to hear from you if you're someone who's genuinely curious – the kind of person who asks thoughtful questions and digs a little deeper to understand what's really going on. You enjoy working with others and naturally bring people together, even when things feel a bit unclear. You think ahead, notice patterns early and stay focused on creating real value for the people around you.
