Program Office Lead

We've partnered exclusively with a leading Auckland-based financial services organisation to appoint an experienced Programme Office Lead for a major enterprise transformation. This is a rare opportunity to establish a PMO from the ground up and shape the governance, planning and delivery framework that will underpin a business-critical programme. Working alongside senior executives and programme leaders, you'll build the operating rhythm that keeps multiple workstreams aligned, risks visible, decisions moving and benefits on track. What you’ll bring 8–12+ years delivering programmes / transformation across multiple workstreams Clear examples of setting up a PMO (ideally greenfield) — not just “reporting”, but designing how the programme runs Strong on governance and control: integrated scheduling, dependencies, RAID, decisioning, change control Can produce sharp exec‑level comms (packs, dashboards, decision papers) without fluff Commercially solid, comfortable with benefits realisation, baselines, tracking and accountability Confident operator: can challenge, unblock, and elevate early while keeping stakeholders onside Financial services experience strongly preferred (regulated sector experience acceptable) Toolkit: PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint/Teams + planning tools (MS Project/Smartsheet etc.) Nice to have: PMP / PRINCE2 / MSP / SAFe If you're an experienced Programme Office Lead looking for the opportunity to build something from the ground up and play a pivotal role in a high‑profile transformation, we'd love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
