We’re looking for a PMO Manager to join our team in Leeds city centre on a permanent basis. This hybrid role offers the flexibility of 2 days in the office.

This is an exciting opportunity to build and shape a centralised portfolio management practice, giving you the chance to make a real impact on how Liberty Blume prioritises investment, balances demand and capacity, and delivers strategic change.

Working within the Chief Technology Officer team, you’ll play a key role in bringing greater visibility, control and insight across our technology portfolio, helping ensure our investment priorities, business demand and delivery capacity stay aligned.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who combines strong ownership and attention to detail with analytical thinking and practical problem-solving. You’ll partner with project managers, developers, commercial teams, senior leaders and external suppliers to turn strategy into clear, actionable plans and build a portfolio management capability that supports the continued growth of the business.

What will you be doing?

Manage the end-to-end demand lifecycle, from new work requests and prioritisation through to approval and delivery.

Governance, insight & reporting

Turn portfolio data into clear, actionable insight, helping senior leaders understand progress, priorities, dependencies and delivery risks.

Lead portfolio governance forums, bringing the right stakeholders together to make decisions, resolve trade-offs and keep delivery moving.

Develop practical portfolio controls, standards and ways of working that strengthen delivery without creating unnecessary complexity.

Financial & commercial management

Maintain oversight of delivery spend and forecasts, ensuring investment remains aligned with agreed budgets.

Manage significant third-party expenditure and support the effective governance of supplier costs and commercial agreements.
