PMO Lead

PMO Lead - Major Technology Transformation Program

12-month contract | Sydney | Hybrid

We are partnering with a large, complex organisation undergoing a significant technology transformation and are looking for an experienced PMO Lead to support a major enterprise program.

This is not a traditional PMO role focused purely on templates, reporting and process. The successful person will need to bring strong governance capability and a genuine understanding of complex technology delivery.

The program is fast-moving, highly visible and involves multiple workstreams, vendors, technical dependencies and executive stakeholders. The PMO Lead will play a critical role in bringing structure, clarity and insight across the program.

The Role

Working closely with the Program Manager and senior workstream leads, you will:

• Lead PMO governance across a large-scale technology program
• Maintain oversight of the integrated program plan, key milestones and dependencies
• Own and drive effective RAID management
• Coordinate fortnightly and monthly reporting cycles
• Support preparation of Steering Committee and executive-level reporting
• Work with delivery leads to understand progress, risks, issues and emerging impacts
• Connect information across multiple workstreams and identify downstream implications
• Challenge inconsistencies and ensure reporting reflects the true position of the program
• Translate complex delivery activity into concise, executive-ready reporting
• Support financial, planning and broader governance processes
• Help ensure governance enables delivery rather than becoming a blocker
• Provide direction and support to PMO resources

About You

We are looking for someone who has operated in a genuine enterprise program environment and understands how quickly priorities can shift.

You will ideally bring:

• Significant experience leading PMO functions within complex technology programs
• Strong integrated planning, governance, RAID and dependency management capability
• Previous hands-on exposure to project or program delivery
• The ability to understand testing cycles, technical dependencies and delivery impacts without needing to be a technical specialist
• Excellent executive reporting and written communication skills
• Experience preparing Steering Committee, board or senior executive packs
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing capability
• The confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and workstream leads constructively
• A pragmatic approach to governance, with the ability to operate at pace
• Consulting or large transformation experience highly regarded

What Will Make You Stand Out

This role will suit someone who can look beyond a status report and understand the story behind the program.

You will be able to listen to what is happening across delivery teams, recognise where risks and dependencies connect, ask the right questions and turn complex information into a clear view for senior stakeholders.

If you are a PMO Lead who understands delivery, enjoys operating in complex environments and is comfortable working at both the detail and executive level, we would like to hear from you.
