PMO Manager

Are you a strategic, solutions-focused project leader who thrives on bringing clarity, consistency, and direction to complex portfolios?

Do you love empowering teams, strengthening delivery standards, and driving the governance needed to keep projects on track?

Could you be our next PMO Manager, shaping how projects are delivered across the IET and ensuring our ambitions become reality?

Up to £70,000Permanent / Full Time

Stevenage with Hybrid Working

At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people.

At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible.

We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.

What you'll be doing

As the PMO Manager, you’ll play a central role in shaping how the IET delivers projects and programmes that drive our strategic ambitions. Reporting to the Transformation Manager, you’ll lead our Project Management Office, championing consistent standards, strong governance, and high-quality delivery across our full project portfolio.

This is a role where strategy meets hands-on impact. You’ll set the frameworks, methodologies, and tools that underpin effective delivery, while also overseeing, and at times directly managing, key projects yourself. You’ll be the source of clarity and assurance across the IET, ensuring projects are well-resourced, risks are understood, performance is transparent, and teams are fully supported to succeed.

You’ll manage a team of Project Managers, guiding, coaching, and empowering them to deliver their best work whist fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Working closely with colleagues across the IET, you’ll also strengthen governance, optimise resources, and help ensure our transformation and change work drives meaningful, measurable outcomes.

What we hope you can bring to the role

We’re looking for an experienced PMO or senior project professional with a strong track record of leading complex portfolios and embedding project delivery excellence across an organisation. You’ll bring proven expertise in project and programme methodologies with Agile experience, a deep understanding of best practice governance, and the confidence to drive consistency where it’s needed.

You’ll be an influential and supportive leader; someone who can bring out the best in project managers, build strong relationships across departments, and engage senior stakeholders with credible insight and clear reporting. You’ll be comfortable overseeing multiple priorities, making informed decisions, and stepping in to personally lead key projects when required.

If you’re someone who thrives on improving processes, strengthening delivery capability, championing high standards, and supporting teams to achieve successful outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.

A little more about the role

• Lead, maintain and continually improve the IET’s project management standards, methodologies and best practices, ensuring all projects and programmes align with strategic goals.
• Oversee project portfolio governance, providing assurance that projects are delivered effectively, within agreed scope, time and budget.
