PMO Financial Analyst

We're looking for an experienced PMO Financial Analyst to take ownership of financial management across a large Change Portfolio. This is a hands-on role sitting at the heart of portfolio governance, working closely with Project Managers, Finance, and senior stakeholders to ensure financial accuracy, discipline, and control across a complex, fast-moving environment.

What you'll be doing

Financial ownership is the core of this role. You'll manage the full financial lifecycle of the Change Portfolio - budgets, forecasts, actuals, accruals, variances, and financial controls - and act as the single point of accountability for PMO financial governance. That includes owning the Deal Approval Request process end-to-end, supporting all major financial events across the year, and producing clear portfolio-level reporting with meaningful commentary on risks, issues, and trends. You'll actively challenge project managers on their forecasts and assumptions where needed.

On the governance side, you'll support the review and approval of key project and programme artefacts, carry out quality audits of project documentation, and proactively identify and escalate any control or compliance concerns. You'll also play a role in the ongoing improvement of PMO financial controls and governance frameworks.

Beyond the numbers, you'll work closely with delivery teams to build a solid understanding of the projects you support - enabling sharper analysis and better assurance across the portfolio.

What we're looking for

• Solid experience in a portfolio or PMO environment, managing competing priorities under deadline pressure
• Strong financial management skills across budgeting, forecasting, actuals, variance analysis, and governance in a project or portfolio context
• Advanced Excel; confident analysing, reconciling, and presenting financial data
• Proficiency across standard tools including PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, SharePoint, Jira, and Confluence
• Clear, confident communicator - written and verbal - comfortable engaging with project managers, finance teams, and senior stakeholders
• Experience supporting project or programme governance, including assurance reviews and quality checks

Desirable: experience in banking or financial services; familiarity with SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework).
