• Organising and facilitating cross-functional project meetings and stakeholder workshops, ensuring clear communication across all workstreams.
• Overseeing project financial administration, including the management of purchase orders, budget tracking, and financial forecasting.
• Coordinating activities between technical engineering teams and business units to ensure all deliverables meet quality standards and transition smoothly into operational support.
• Producing regular management information and high-level reporting for both internal leadership and external client stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will possess a structured approach to project delivery and a proven track record in a PMO or Project Support function. To be successful in this role, you should demonstrate:

• Significant experience as a Project Coordinator or PMO Analyst within a technology-focused or professional services environment.
• A robust understanding of the project lifecycle, including governance, reporting standards, and documentation control.
• Advanced proficiency with project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Jira, Smartsheet, or Azure DevOps.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong financial acumen related to project budgeting and administrative tracking.
• Prior exposure to Azure or AWS cloud migration projects is highly desirable.
• Professional certifications such as PRINCE2 Foundation, AgilePM, or equivalent are preferred.

Joining this programme offers the chance to work at the forefront of digital transformation within a high-performing and collaborative team environment. Benefits of this engagement include:

• Fully remote working arrangement within the UK, offering excellent work-life balance.
• Exposure to enterprise-scale technology initiatives and cutting-edge cloud modernisation strategies.
• An initial 3-6 month contract with strong potential for long-term extension based on performance and project roadmap.
