Work on Technology That Protects What Matters
At SiXworks, we build secure digital solutions that support Defence and National Security missions. Our teams work on complex problems where reliability, security, and speed of innovation matter.
We’re looking for a PMO Coordinator who enjoys solving difficult technical challenges and wants their work to have real operational impact.
What You’ll Do
As a PMO Coordinator you'll provide essential support to our wider Programme delivery function. This is a role for a detail-oriented professional who excels in a fast-paced environment and understands that effective PMO support is built on strong internal relationships and clear communication.
You will be responsible for maintaining the integrity of programme data, ensuring governance standards are met, and facilitating the smooth operation of the delivery lifecycle.
Your work may include:
- Programme Governance: Coordinate the production and consolidation of weekly and monthly status reports, ensuring high standards of data accuracy and professional presentation.
- Resource Coordination: Support recruitment and onboarding processes within the programme. Drive and support resource management processes including time sheet submissions and utilisation forecasting.
- Stakeholder Liaison: Act as a central coordinator for the programme team. You will be expected to work flexibly across different workstreams to support Project Managers and technical leads as priorities shift.
- RAID Management: Maintain and update Risk, Issue, Assumption, and Dependency (RAID) logs, ensuring that items are regularly reviewed and escalated where necessary.
- Quality Control: Conduct internal audits of project documentation and stage-gate evidence to ensure alignment with SiXworks and IBM delivery frameworks.
- Meeting Facilitation: Organize and document key governance meetings, ensuring actions are captured, assigned, and tracked to completion.
- Event Co-ordination: Supporting and co-ordination of customer and internal events
What We’re Looking For
We value people who take ownership, think critically, and enjoy working as part of a collaborative team tackling complex challenges. You don’t need to tick every box, but we’re particularly interested in people with skills/experience in:
- Proven PMO Experience: 1-2 years of experience within a PMO Coordinator or Analyst capacity would be ideal but experience in a similar coordinator / planning role would suffice.
- Attention to Detail: A disciplined approach to data entry, documentation, and reporting. You should have a track record of identifying inconsistencies before they reach stakeholders.
- Collaborative Approach: Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team. You must be approachable and proactive in assisting colleagues to meet collective deadlines.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong command of the Microsoft Office Suite—specifically Excel (data manipulation and reporting) and PowerPoint. Experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, or MS Project is highly advantageous.
- Adaptability: Experience working in environments where requirements can change quickly, requiring a calm and flexible response to shifting priorities.
- People-Centric: You understand that PMO is a service function. You focus on supporting the team to ensure successful delivery.
- Direct & Clear: You communicate complex information simply and effectively, both in writing and verbally.
- Highly Organised: You can manage multiple administrative threads simultaneously without losing focus on core governance requirements.
Just as important are curiosity, strong problem solving ability, and the motivation to continuously improve how technology is designed and delivered.
