Here’s the facts about the role:   
   
As Junior PMO Coordinator, you’ll provide support in running PMO processes, covering programme and project establishment, ongoing management, budget management, meeting management, quality assurance, and project closure, as well as more generally for the Technology Group contract and finance management.   

 

You’ll take ownership of budget and financial coordination, ensuring accurate and timely tracking of both Capex and IT maintenance budgets. You’ll work closely with Finance and Programme teams to review and reconcile monthly reports, update Smartsheet actuals and forecasts, and investigate any discrepancies promptly.

You’ll also provide essential contract and procurement support, managing the full lifecycle of new contracts from processing through to signatures. This includes maintaining accurate records in Procontract, supporting the management of licences, services and renewals, and ensuring all supplier-related updates are completed on time. A key part of this responsibility is monitoring renewal invoices, challenging anomalies, and ensuring payments are made promptly so that contracts remain active and compliant.
