Available Position: PMO Coordinator 

Location: Bristol – Hybrid  

Role: Full Time  

Remuneration: £26,000 – £33,000 (experience depending)

The Role  

An opportunity has arisen within our Project Management function for a PMO Coordinator to provide structured lifecycle coordination, governance preparation, and budget and resource visibility across active projects. This is a foundational role within the PM function, designed to give Project Managers more capacity to focus on delivery leadership, stakeholder management, scope control and risk management. 

This is a primarily a non-client-facing position, focused on internal coordination, governance discipline, and operational visibility. 

The role sits within the Project Management function and reports to the PM Manager. It is intended to offer stability and structured development, with an increased deepening of the successful candidate’s understanding of end-to-end project lifecycle coordination, governance and delivery discipline, budget and utilisation visibility, and cross-functional collaboration between PM and Resource Management. While not designed as a short-term stepping stone, the role may evolve gradually in scope and responsibility, with longer-term progression potentially including expanded operational responsibilities or broader coordination roles within the PM function, subject to performance and business priorities.
