PMO Analyst

Feel like being part of…

Our Group Change function helps each business area across the Aldermore Group translate their strategic priorities into a well-defined and manageable change agenda. We are a delivery function for the group's businesses responsible for shaping and driving a fully prioritised change agenda and roadmap. Our purpose is to help move Aldermore from where it is now, to where it wants to be.

We’re looking for an experienced PMO Analyst to join us at a crucial time as we embark on some significant change programmes across our business. You’ll report into the Head of Product Delivery (Group Functions) and form part of our wider PMO support team. You’ll play a key role in the successful running of the Group Functions Portfolio, which includes Risk, Finance & Treasury and People Change. You’ll support the Portfolio to execute quality, governance in line with the Group Change Policy, control and financial responsibilities.

We’re currently refreshing our change lifecycle so this is unique opportunity to join us at an exciting time as we roll out a brand new change Framework across the business where you’ll have opportunity to learn, share knowledge and play a role in the evolution of our group change function.

What would your day look like?
