About the Role

We are seeking a motivated and capable PMO to join the Service Support Office (SSO) within a major Defence programme. The SSO operates as a hybrid Project Management Office (PMO) that is evolving to take a more service-focused approach – supporting and monitoring in-service IT and digital projects across the Defence landscape.

This is an excellent opportunity for a professional with 3-5 years of experience in IT service management projects and exposure to large-scale Defence delivery programmes. You will play a key role in ensuring effective project governance, performance monitoring, and service delivery alignment across multiple workstreams.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist project and service managers with planning, risk management, dependencies tracking, and stakeholder reporting.

• Produce and maintain PMO documentation such as dashboards, action logs, highlight reports, and governance packs.

• Support the implementation of service management best practices and contribute to the continuous improvement of PMO and service delivery processes.

• Engage with internal and external stakeholders to ensure programme visibility, alignment, and performance tracking.

• Contribute to the development and evolution of the SSO into a more service-oriented PMO capability.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Active DV Clearance (Developed Vetting) – mandatory for this role.

• Demonstrable experience supporting or managing IT service management (ITSM) or infrastructure projects.

• Experience working on major Defence or secure government programmes.

• Strong understanding of project and programme management frameworks (e.g., PRINCE2, MSP, Agile).

• Excellent communication, organisational, and stakeholder management skills.

• Proficiency in standard PMO tools (e.g., MS Project, Excel, SharePoint, PowerPoint, or equivalent).

Desirable Skills

• Understanding of MOD acquisition or in-service support environments.

• Familiarity with ITIL or related service management frameworks.

• Experience working in a hybrid PMO / Service Support function.

• Ability to adapt to evolving delivery models and priorities within complex, multi-stakeholder settings.
