PMO Analyst – Enterprise Transformation (1099 Contractor)

Location: Remote

Job Type: 1099 Independent Contractor

Function: Program Infrastructure / Enterprise Transformation

Reports to: Transformation Program Infrastructure Lead

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced PMO Analyst to support a multi-function enterprise transformation programme as the day-to-day project management backbone for an assigned workstream.

This role is responsible for maintaining operational discipline across the workstream, including sprint planning, schedule management, RAID tracking, scope change management, resource tracking, documentation, reporting, and cross-functional coordination.

The ideal candidate is an organised, proactive project professional who can independently manage workstream-level activities, coordinate effectively with SMEs and business owners, and ensure actions, risks, dependencies, and decisions are consistently tracked through to resolution.

This is a business and process transformation programme, not a systems implementation or IT deployment. The role requires independent judgement and workstream ownership rather than working solely as an administrative or support resource.

Key ResponsibilitiesWorkstream Planning \& Coordination

• Lead sprint planning activities for assigned workstreams, ensuring tasks, priorities, dependencies, and deliverables are clearly defined and aligned with programme objectives.
• Serve as the primary coordination point for the assigned workstream.
• Coordinate with SMEs, business owners, and cross-functional stakeholders to maintain momentum and resolve blockers.
• Participate in daily programme stand-ups and provide concise, actionable updates.
• Track follow-up actions and ensure commitments are closed out.

Schedule \& Resource Management

• Own and maintain the workstream schedule, ensuring milestones, activities, dependencies, and timelines remain accurate and current.
• Document schedule changes using the required schedule update process for incorporation into the consolidated programme schedule.
• Monitor resource allocations and capacity across the workstream.
• Maintain the resource change log and document changes to SME availability or resource requirements.

RAID \& Scope Management

• Own the workstream RAID log, ensuring risks, actions, issues, and decisions are accurately documented, regularly reviewed, and appropriately escalated.
• Identify and track dependencies, blockers, and emerging risks that could affect delivery.
• Maintain the workstream scope change log, documenting the rationale, impact, and required approvals for changes.
• Proactively flag issues that require attention from programme leadership.

Reporting \& Documentation

• Collect weekly workstream updates covering milestones, accomplishments, risks, blockers, dependencies, and upcoming activities.
• Provide accurate inputs for the programme dashboard and weekly reporting.
• Maintain project trackers, logs, and programme artefacts in accordance with document control standards.
• Ensure documentation follows required naming conventions, version control, storage locations, and update cadences.
• Prepare clear and concise status updates, meeting follow-ups, and action summaries.

Cross-Functional Communication

• Facilitate effective communication between workstream stakeholders and the broader programme team.
• Ensure key updates, decisions, risks, escalations, and dependencies are communicated proactively.
• Build effective working relationships with SMEs, business owners, programme leads, and cross-functional partners.

Qualifications \& Experience

• 3–5 years of experience in PMO, project coordination, project management, programme management, or a similar role.
• Experience working within a PMO, transformation programme, consulting environment, or complex enterprise programme is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience independently managing RAID logs, project schedules, action trackers, dependencies, and scope changes.
• Experience acting as a coordination point for a project or workstream, with direct interaction across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Strong understanding of project management and programme delivery practices.
• Experience supporting organisational, operational, business, or process transformation is strongly preferred.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and familiarity with project/programme tracking tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to documentation and follow-through.
• Ability to manage recurring reporting and coordination activities within a fast-paced programme environment.
• Experience working as a 1099 independent contractor or on commercial client engagements is advantageous but not required.
• Experience using AI productivity tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or similar platforms in day-to-day work.

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate will:

• Take ownership: Own workstream deliverables, actions, risks, and follow-ups without needing constant direction.
• Think proactively: Identify blockers, dependencies, and gaps before they become delivery issues.
• Coordinate confidently: Comfortable working directly with SMEs, business owners, and senior stakeholders.
• Be highly organised: Maintains accurate schedules, logs, trackers, and documentation consistently.
• Communicate clearly: Provides concise, timely updates and knows when and how to escalate.
• Work independently: Comfortable operating with autonomy while remaining aligned with programme standards.
• Adapt quickly: Remains organised and composed when priorities, timelines, or requirements change.
• Use technology effectively: Leverages AI and digital tools to improve productivity, documentation, planning, and follow-up.

This Role Is Not

To ensure the role is understood clearly, this position is not:

• A data analytics or metrics role. Dashboard development and data analysis sit with the Data \& Insights team.
• A programme strategy or governance design role.
• A technical or IT project analyst role.
• An administrative support position requiring close supervision.
• A single-function role. The PMO Analyst will coordinate across multiple stakeholder groups and functions.

Contractor Engagement

This is a 1099 independent contractor engagement. Work hours are driven by programme and client demand and may vary from week to week. The contractor will be responsible for managing their own availability, invoicing, and applicable tax obligations.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to play a hands-on role in a complex enterprise transformation programme, working across functions and helping ensure that a key workstream operates with the structure, visibility, and accountability required for successful delivery.

Job Type: Contract

Application Question(s):

• This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Hours are driven by client demand and are not guaranteed week to week. Payment is invoice-based on a Net-45 cycle. Have you worked as a 1099 independent contractor before? If yes, briefly describe the engagement. If no, describe how you would approach the financial planning this model requires.
• Describe a time you were the primary coordination point for a workstream or project — not a support role. Who did you coordinate with, what did you own, and how did you keep things moving?
• Describe your experience managing a RAID log. How did you ensure risks and issues were escalated appropriately and not just documented? Give a specific example.
• Have you led sprint planning for a workstream? Walk us through how you structured it, how you identified dependencies, set priorities, and kept the team aligned to program objectives.
• Describe a time you had to maintain documentation quality, naming conventions, versioning, and storage standards while the program was moving fast. What did you do to keep standards from slipping?

Describe a time you had to keep several trackers, action logs, or meeting threads accurate at once. How did you make sure nothing fell through the cracks?
