This is an prospect to reshape how a large Australian organisation delivers technology, digital and business initiatives. They'll be looking for an experienced Head of PMO to design and lead a PMO that enables faster delivery, stronger governance and better business outcomes.

- Partner with Technology, Product, Finance and business leaders to improve delivery outcomes.
- Lead and develop a high‑performing PMO team supporting enterprise‑wide initiatives.
- Drive continual improvement across portfolio reporting, governance and delivery tooling.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring experience leading PMOs within large, complex enterprise environments and have successfully delivered organisational change. Ideally you’ll have experience with:

- Transforming traditional PMOs into agile or product‑led delivery functions.
- Enterprise portfolio, programme and investment governance.
- Agile operating models including squads, chapters or tribes.
- Portfolio financial management, forecasting and benefits tracking.
- Executive stakeholder management across Technology, Finance and business leadership.
