Transformation PMO Manager / Business Change PMO

Transformation PMO Manager / Business Change PMO

Role overview

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Transformation PMO Manager to support an approximately six-month Commercial Transformation programme for an international client.

The successful candidate will act as the operational right hand to the Transformation Lead, translating the agreed transformation direction into structured execution across multiple workstreams, functions and countries.

The role will focus on programme coordination, governance, status tracking, follow-ups, dependencies, risks, decisions and business readiness. This is not a Transformation Lead or IT delivery role. We are looking for someone who combines strong PMO governance with a practical, execution-focused approach.

Responsibilities

• Support the Transformation Lead in the day-to-day execution of the programme.

• Translate agreed priorities into clear plans, actions, owners and deadlines.

• Maintain a strong programme rhythm, including status meetings, governance forums and SteerCo preparation.

• Proactively follow up with workstream owners and ensure that agreed actions are completed.

• Track progress, milestones, risks, issues, dependencies and decisions.

• Own and maintain RAID logs, action trackers, decision logs and programme plans.

• Identify delays, gaps and delivery risks, and escalate them when required.

• Prepare concise reporting and decision materials for senior stakeholders.

• Coordinate activities across functions, countries and programme workstreams.

• Support business readiness, communication, transition and organisational change activities.

• Ensure transparency of priorities, responsibilities and dependencies across the programme.

Requirements

• Strong experience in a Business PMO, Transformation PMO, Programme PMO, Transition PMO or Business Change PMO role.

• Experience supporting large, international business transformation programmes.

• Experience working closely with a Transformation Lead, Programme Director or senior programme sponsor.

• Strong knowledge of programme governance, RAID management, dependency tracking, action tracking and executive reporting.

• Ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders and workstreams without direct authority.

• Hands-on and delivery-focused approach, with strong attention to detail.

• Ability to challenge constructively, follow up persistently and hold stakeholders accountable.

• Excellent spoken and written English, including confidence in high-pressure situations.

• Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills.

• Availability for an approximately six-month, full-time engagement.

• Candidates must be based in the EU or the UK.

Nice to have

• Experience in FMCG, CPG, consumer goods or retail.

• Experience in commercial or procurement transformation, sourcing, supplier management or source-to-pay.

• Experience in GBS, shared services, BPO or global transformation environments.

• Experience supporting process migrations, transitions or outsourcing initiatives.

• Experience with business readiness, operating model implementation or organisational change.

Engagement details

• Contract type: B2B.

• Capacity: full-time.

• Duration: approximately six months.

• Start: as soon as possible or to be agreed.

• International working environment.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive and comfortable acting as the execution partner to a senior Transformation Lead.

The ideal candidate can take an agreed direction and turn it into disciplined delivery across multiple workstreams. They should enjoy coordinating stakeholders, following up on actions, maintaining momentum and ensuring that commitments are delivered on time.
