Technical PMO Analyst

The Role

We are hiring a technical PMO analyst part of our Platform Strategy and Transformation team to strengthen our PMO capability based in London. This is a hands-on, hybrid role: part project delivery and PMO operations, part builder of internal tools and metrics, and part owner of internal documentation quality.

You will help run the PMO day to day, collect and challenge project updates, define and build useful metrics/dashboards, and take ownership of selected projects. You will also write Python (with AI coding assistants) to automate work and ship small internal UIs/admin tools, and act as content manager for PMO and project documentation on Confluence (and related internal spaces).

This role suits someone who likes structure and delivery, can code enough to build practical tools, cares about clear documentation, and wants to grow into broader project management over time.

Responsibilities

• PMO operations, metrics and reporting
• Collecting, challenging, and consolidating project updates from project managers and delivery leads into clear, decision-ready status reporting.
• Defining, building, and maintaining project and portfolio metrics (progress, delivery health, risks/issues, dependencies, milestones, capacity, and KPI trends).
• Building and maintaining dashboards and management information used by leadership and project managers.
• Supporting portfolio and programme forums: preparing materials, tracking actions, and following up to closure.
• Maintaining RAID logs and helping keep project data accurate and up to date.
• Tooling and automation
• Writing Python scripts and small applications to support PMO workflows, including data collection, reporting, and automation across Jira and Confluence.
• Automating repetitive workflows across Jira and Confluence (status collection, reporting, page and template updates, notifications).
• Building small internal UIs and admin tools with AI coding assistants — practical PMO / project-management utilities rather than production trading systems.
• Improve and extend internal PMO / project-management tooling over time (dashboards, trackers, lightweight apps).
• Documentation and Standards
• Acting as content manager for internal PMO and project documentation: structuring Confluence spaces/pages, maintaining quality and freshness, and retiring outdated content.
• Creating and curating playbooks, project templates, training materials, and how-to guides so teams can self-serve.
• Continuously improving PMO tooling, documentation standards, and ways of working — lighter process where possible, stronger visibility where it matters.
• Project Delivery
• Taking ownership of selected small-to-medium projects as Project Manager (scope, plan, stakeholders, risks, delivery, and communication).
• Coordinating across engineering, business, and operations stakeholders to keep work unblocked and on track.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of relevant experience in PMO, project coordination, junior project management, business analysis, operations tooling, or a similar delivery-support role (financial services, technology, or consulting preferred but not required).
• Ability to code in Python for practical automation and data work (scripts, APIs, data cleaning/transformation, and basic applications); professional software-engineering background is not required.
• Comfort building small UIs / internal tools with AI coding assistance (e.g. simple web interfaces, forms, dashboards, or admin utilities).
• Ability to define and build metrics — turning project activity into clear indicators, charts, and actionable reporting
• Strong written communication and editorial judgment, with the ability to act as content manager for internal documentation (structure, clarity, consistency, and upkeep).
• Hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence Strong organisational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple work streams without dropping follow-ups.
• Clear verbal communication skills; able to turn messy updates into concise reporting Ability to pivot tasks quickly with the evolving needs of the business and to navigate ambiguous environments while maintaining focus and delivering results.
• Ability to support working across multiple time zones, as needed.
• Proactive, ownership-oriented mindset; comfortable asking questions, challenging gently, and driving work to completion.
• Nice to have: dashboarding / BI tools (Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Streamlit, Gradio, or similar); front-end basics or Python UI frameworks; Jira/Confluence API automation; Agile delivery exposure; prior end-to-end ownership of a small project or workstream; Confluence information architecture or training programme experience; interest in trading or fintech environments.
