The Opportunity
The Head of PMO establishes and leads B&H Worldwides Project Management Office, providing the governance, standards, tooling and reporting that ensure our portfolio of projects and programmes is delivered on time, on budget and aligned to the value-creation plan. This role is the single source of truth for portfolio status, resourcing and benefits realisation and the engine that turns strategy into disciplined execution.
Uniquely for B&H at this stage, the role carries four priorities beyond a conventional PMO: leading the integration of acquired businesses as we build the platform; owning the performance-management and OKR framework, cadence and tooling; driving the technology and systems rollouts that underpin service and efficiency; and coordinating facility openings and the move to a consolidated regional operating model. It is both a hands-on delivery role and a leadership one, combining rigorous project controls with the commercial awareness needed in a fast-paced, safety- and compliance-critical aerospace environment.
