With major programmes including a high profile Local Government Reorganisation shaping the future of services, funding and organisational identity, this is a council undergoing real, system wide change. The organisation is investing heavily in strengthening its transformation and delivery capability. As part of this, it is now seeking an exceptional Head of PMO who can bring clarity, authority and discipline to a vast and evolving programme portfolio. Local Government experience is an absolute must. Your new role This is not a traditional PMO role, this is the senior leadership position responsible for holding an entire organisation to account for the successful delivery of its biggest programme.

You will have the authority to challenge Programme Directors and senior leaders on direction, decisions and delivery discipline across the whole portfolio, including the most politically sensitive and high risk programmes. You will provide senior level insight, foresight and strategic challenge, delivering portfolio reporting that not only informs leadership but influences decisive action. When programmes need re scoping, reprioritising or even stopping entirely, your voice will be the one that shapes that conversation. You will also lead the evolution of the organisation's PPM capability, designing and embedding portfolio frameworks, dashboards and assurance models that drive maturity across every directorate. Alongside this, you will lead a talented PMO team and work closely with Members, SROs and corporate leadership to ensure transformation activity is aligned, realistic and future proof.

You will have deep expertise in governance, assurance, risk and financial planning and the confidence to challenge and influence at the highest levels. You will be adept at simplifying complexity, turning data and performance insights into compelling narratives that drive action. You will also be an experienced leader of senior specialists, capable of elevating capability and embedding consistency in all environments. Experience working within large, complex public sector or political environments is essential, and exposure to major transformation or reorganisation programmes will be a significant advantage. What you'll get in return This contract places you at the centre of one of the most consequential transformation portfolios in the region. You will gain unparalleled access to senior decision making, real influence over organisational direction and a platform to drive meaningful, lasting change. You'll join a collaborative, forward thinking environment with a competitive day rate and significant potential for extension as the transformation portfolio evolves.

This is a rare opportunity to lead the Infrastructure Portfolio for a leading global banking group, directing a multi-million-pound book of investment and change projects, managing a team of consultants and contractors, and reporting directly into senior technology and Head Office stakeholders. You'll have real authority to shape delivery, influence executive decision-making, and drive the "do-ability" of a complex, high-profile portfolio. If you thrive on governance, stakeholder engagement, and getting large-scale change over the line - this is your next move. What you'll be doing Plan, direct and govern the Infrastructure investment portfolio end-to-end, owning the delivery roadmap, critical path and prioritisation decisions across projects and programmes. Manage delegated authority from senior Head Office stakeholders (via the CIO), driving delivery on behalf of the Accountable Executive and reporting into EMEA ExCo, Delivery Forum and portfolio committees. Own portfolio governance: baseline control (budget, scope, benefits, timeline), change approval, risk/issue management, business case sign-off and project closure. Lead, recruit and develop a team of circa 13 consultants/contractors, plus matrix-manage wider project delivery staff.

Hands-on experience of major infrastructure transformation, such as data centre migration, network transformation, cloud migration, and end user compute (EUC) platform modernisation - for example VDI, Microsoft 365 (M365) deployment, Windows/OS upgrades, endpoint and device deployment, or Exchange/email platform upgrades. Strong financial management skills, including capex/opex management, budget planning and forecasting, and understanding of IFRS or local GAAP standards.
