PMO Lead (M&A)

PMO Lead – Strategy & Transformation

📍 Copenhagen (flexible location with travel)

We’re looking for a PMO Lead to help shape how a growing European consulting and professional services group turns strategy into execution.

The company has scaled significantly over recent years – both organically and through multiple acquisitions – and is now at a point where execution excellence, integration, and value realization are critical. This role sits at the heart of that journey.

Reporting directly to the Head of Strategy & Transformation, you’ll establish and lead a PMO that drives the company’s most important cross-functional, group-wide initiatives, including digital platforms, internal systems, and AI-related projects.

This is not a reporting or coordination role. It’s about making things happen.

Your mission

To build and lead a PMO that ensures disciplined execution, strong governance, and on-time realization of value across the company’s most critical initiatives.

What you’ll be responsible for

• Owning and managing a portfolio of key internal strategic initiatives from inception to delivery

• Establishing and enforcing PMO governance, standards, and reporting across the group

• Ensuring a clear link between initiatives, company strategy, and measurable benefits

• Improving time-to-market and benefit realization, e.g. for internal system and platform rollouts

• Creating transparency around budgets, costs, risks, and benefits for major initiatives

• Acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, including C-level leadership

• Supporting integration and alignment across acquired companies through structured execution

What we’re looking for

• A strong track record in program or project management in fast-paced, complex environments

• Hands-on experience establishing, running, or playing a key role in a PMO

• Exposure to IT and/or AI-driven initiatives

• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and challenging when needed

• A pragmatic, execution-focused mindset – you get things done

• Comfort building a function step by step, without a large team from day one

Why this role stands out

• Clear mandate and C-level backing to build a scalable execution function

• Ownership of the most visible and impactful initiatives in the company

• Freedom to define structures, governance, and ways of working

• A strong internal network of SMEs and consultants to spar with

• A role that directly supports growth, integration, and transformation at group level
