G MASS Consulting is seeking an experienced PMO Lead for a specialist nuclear liability coverholder and underwriting agent operating within the Lloyd’s market. This is a lean, mission-critical business in the midst of a board-directed transformation - with ambitious growth targets to 2030 and a clear mandate to professionalise its delivery capability.
The foundations of a PMO exist but remain underdeveloped. This is not a greenfield build, nor is it a large-corporate programme environment. The right person will be equally at home advising a board and rolling up their sleeves alongside a small, high-ownership team.
The role sits at the heart of the organisation’s strategic delivery agenda, translating board-level direction - including an ongoing engagement with a major professional services firm - into a structured, executable operating model.
Hybrid working with three days per week at the client’s London office.
What You’ll Do
-
Assess and critique the current PMO setup with experienced, fresh eyes — understand what exists, what’s missing, and what needs to change
-
Establish and embed a governance framework and operating cadence appropriate to a specialist Lloyd’s coverholder — proportionate, not bureaucratic
-
Run and chair programme and steering meetings, ensuring clear ownership and momentum across all workstreams
-
Serve as the operational link between the board-level strategic engagement and internal delivery teams, translating strategic intent into structured plans
-
Lead prioritisation across a concurrent portfolio of initiatives, allocating resource and attention across competing demands with clarity and discipline
-
Drive the new product development agenda operationally — supporting the business in building the structures and processes needed to expand its specialty underwriting footprint
-
Oversee technology initiatives focused on scaling the platform for sustainable growth
-
Support people and workforce priorities, including the restructuring of business development and underwriting functions
-
Manage senior stakeholders with confidence, including at C-suite and board level, in a high-ownership, relationship-driven environment
-
Define and document the target operating model, building towards a structured and well-documented handover to a permanent function
Requirements
-
A seasoned PMO professional with a strong track record of building or significantly improving PMO functions — ideally in environments where the function was nascent or underdeveloped
-
Comfortable operating across an entire organisation in a lean team environment — this is not a role for someone who needs a large support structure around them
-
Specialty insurance or Lloyd’s market experience is essential — coverholder or underwriting agent experience is strongly preferred; you need to be credible in front of a specialist underwriting team
-
Proven ability to act as the bridge between external strategic advisors and internal delivery — translating high-level direction into practical, owned plans
-
Experienced in building and applying prioritisation frameworks for resource allocation across competing initiatives in a resource-constrained environment
-
Comfortable with ambiguity and constructive challenge — the business is moving fast and not everything is defined; you should be energised by that, not unsettled by it
-
Available to start August-September 2025
Benefits
Salary to be discussed.
Initial 6-month contract, with view for further extension.
