The role creates the governance, planning discipline and management transparency needed for effective execution, while connecting local delivery with the regional programme management framework.

Establish and maintain an integrated Cluster programme plan aligned with the Regional master plan.

Programme reporting and management information

Establish a consistent Cluster reporting process and consolidate workstream updates into an integrated programme view.

Prepare Cluster status reports using agreed standards and templates.

Maintain visibility of milestone status, RAID items, decisions, resource constraints and priority actions.

Apply consistent RAG principles and provide concise, evidence-based information for leadership decisions.

Regional PMO and Cluster integration

Act as the primary PMO interface between the Cluster and Regional PMO.

Coordinate Cluster responses to regional programme requirements and cascade standards, templates, milestones and reporting expectations locally.

Ensure timely and consistent information flow between local workstreams and Regional PMO.

Communicate Cluster-level dependencies, risks and constraints requiring regional visibility.

Workstream coordination and programme controls

Maintain an integrated view of workstream milestones, dependencies, actions, and commitments.

Facilitate cross-workstream coordination and support resolution or escalation of delivery issues.

Maintain structured action and decision logs, including owners, due dates, and closure status.

Ensure traceability between plans, milestones, RAID items, decisions and actions.

Maintain programme artefacts in agreed repositories and ensure documentation is current, accessible and consistent.

Delivery monitoring and assurance

Monitor Cluster delivery against agreed milestones and programme commitments.

Identify emerging schedules, dependency and execution risks and highlight delivery gaps.

Monitor critical actions and deliverables and support structured programme reviews and milestone assessments.

Provide objective programme information supporting escalation and decision-making.

Required experience and qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in business, management, finance, technology or a related discipline; recognised programme or project management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2 or MSP is an advantage.

Proven written and verbal communication skills in English and Russian.

Proven experience in a PMO, programme management or transformation delivery role within a complex, multi-workstream environment.

Hands-on experience with integrated planning, governance, RAID management, dependency management, action tracking and executive reporting.
