THE ROLE OF A PMO ANALYST

External Description

The Bank of England is the UK’s central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people. The Bank of England is a diverse organisation. Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

The Technology Division provides information and system technology services to all business areas in the Bank as part of Central Services, and is responsible for all aspects of the Bank’s project and programme delivery. We exist to support the Bank in meeting its key objectives and strategic priorities.

The Technology Division’s structure is designed to reflect the delivery lifecycle for technology. New technologies and investments are planned and designed and then delivered, operated and maintained in a way that ensures information and data is kept safely and securely. The Division also enables and delivers significant business change initiatives that impact all areas of the Bank.

The PMO works in partnership with the Corporate Portfolio Office to support the delivery of business and technology-related change across the breadth of the Bank’s remit.

The PMO has adopted a ‘hub and spoke’ model consisting of a small central team to run portfolio-level controls such as risk management, planning and benefits management. In addition, there is a pool of embedded PMO analysts who, using a blend of support and local assurance, work together with the Bank’s portfolio, programme and project managers to facilitate delivery to time, cost and quality expectations.
