Job description

Programme Governance & Control

  • Establish and maintain programme governance frameworks, standards, and controls.
  • Coordinate and support governance forums including SteerCo, Advisory Panels, Executive and Board sessions, and weekly programme meetings.
  • Ensure compliance with organisational policies, audit requirements, and delivery standards.
  • Maintain decision logs, action trackers, RAID logs, assumptions, dependencies, and programme documentation.

Planning & Delivery Management

  • Develop and maintain an integrated programme plan, including milestones, dependencies, and critical paths.
  • Support Programme and Workstream Leads with planning, scheduling, and resource forecasting.
  • Track progress against plan, proactively identifying delivery risks or deviations.
  • Drive momentum in a programme that is not yet in a fast-paced delivery phase.

RAID & Risk Management

  • Own and actively manage the RAID framework.
  • Proactively identify, assess, escalate, and mitigate risks.
  • Provide clear recommendations and options to senior stakeholders, particularly when key decision-makers or SMEs are unavailable.

Reporting & Insights

  • Produce high-quality, concise reporting for senior stakeholders.
  • Consolidate status updates, financials, and RAID items into clear, actionable insights.
  • Enable leadership decision-making in an environment where multiple operating model options are under consideration, including outsourcing vs. in-house capability.

Delivery & Business Support

  • Provide hands-on delivery support where capacity is constrained, including drafting documents, packs, and first-cut deliverables.
  • Support the development of training strategies and principles, producing initial drafts for review.
  • Balance programme discipline with supporting the wider business through change.

Requirements

Essential

  • Proven experience as a PMO Lead within IT or digital transformation programmes.
  • Strong experience in governance, RAID management, programme planning, and reporting.
  • Excellent organisational and analytical skills with the ability to synthesise complex information.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, comfortable engaging with senior leaders and technical teams.
  • Experience operating effectively in ambiguous, evolving programmes.

Desirable

  • Experience across IT operating model transformation, including prior outsourcing initiatives (1st or 2nd generation).
  • Exposure to vendor and third-party delivery models.
  • Knowledge of Agile delivery, sprints, and iterative ways of working.
  • Familiarity with programme financial management.

Rullion celebrates and supports diversity and is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for both employees and applicants.
