TYPES OF JOBS IN THE PMO

By Lindsay Scott September 6, 2018

Home > PMO Learning Blog > PMO > Types of Jobs in the PMO

In this article, we take a look at the different types of jobs that exist in a
PMO and how you can prepare yourself to get one.

We’ll take a look at the four different levels and highlight the roles that
you’ll find within them. We’ll also take a look at the different courses that
can help you in your PMO career too.

Let’s start at the beginning:


LEVEL ONE – NEW TO WORKING IN PROJECT SUPPORT

At this level of the PMO career path, the PMO which features the most is the
Project level PMO.

The types of jobs which are typical at this level are:

 * Project Administrator
 * Project Co-ordinator
 * Project Support Officer

Level one is not just for people completely new to PMO, it’s also for people who
have been working for a few years and are learning project management support as
they gain more and more experience.

At this level, you need understanding of formal project management and an
understanding of the different tasks and activities that each of these roles
performs. To get that knowledge, many opt for the Essentials for PMO
Administrators course.


LEVEL TWO – SUPPORTING PORTFOLIOS, PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS

It might feel like a large jump from project support roles to supporting
portfolios and projects but there is a progression.

With roles within the Project level PMO, the job titles are likely to be:

 * Project Office Co-ordinator
 * Project Office Analyst
 * Project Office Support

At Programme level PMO, the job titles are:

 * Programme Office Co-ordinator
 * Programme Office Analyst
 * Programme Office Support

The same for Portfolio level PMOs (I’m sure you’re getting the picture)

Other titles are this level might include:

 * Project Management Officer
 * PMO Officer
 * Project Assistant

You’ll also start to see more specialist titles too, such as:

 * Project Planner
 * Project Scheduler
 * Project Controller

All these different jobs are about supporting either projects, programmes or
portfolio/s. Sometimes there may be a combination i.e., supporting both
programmes and projects.

The key to understanding the different jobs within the PMO at this level is to
understand what it is that PMO is doing – what’s the objective of it.

For example, some PMOs might be focusing very much on providing a reporting
function – others might be focused on improving project delivery through
training. Whatever the focus is, that’s your clue about making the right
approach to get into working in that type of PMO.

To gain a good understanding of the different types of PMOs, the P3O® Foundation
course is a good one to start with, or the Essentials for PMO Analysts course.

At this level, you’ll also be continuing your education in project management,
programme management and portfolio management. You’ll also be looking at
improving your behavioural skills and any specialisms such as planning or data
management.




LEVEL THREE – LEADING AND MANAGING PMOS

At this level, it’s all about managing Project, Programme and Portfolio level
PMOs.

There are mainly two titles here:

 * PMO Manager
 * PMO Lead

You’ll also see variations like:

 * Project Office Manager
 * Programme Office Manager
 * Portfolio Office Manager
 * Project Office Lead
 * Programme Office Lead
 * Portfolio Office Lead

How do these two roles differ? A lot of the time it’s an organisational
preference, some organisations don’t like to use the term ‘manager’. Another
reason is a potential clash when an organisation has many PMOs. For example, in
a classic P3O® ‘hub and spoke’ model, there may be a central permanent PMO which
is headed up by a PMO Manager. Then there may be a temporary PMO to support a
programme, this is headed up by the PMO Lead.

To work at this level, the knowledge needs to focus on designing and setting up
PMOs and of course running them.

To get prepared for this type of job, there are two different courses:

 * P3O® Practitioner
 * Essentials for PMO Analysts

At this level, focus on developing leadership and business management skills is
also a must.


LEVEL FOUR – MANAGING AND DIRECTING PMOS

At this level – the most senior in PMO, the titles tend to be:

 * Head of PMO
 * PMO Director
 * Portfolio Director
 * Head of Project Management
 * ePMO Manager

You’ll see lots of weird and wonderful titles at this level, ultimately these
roles are about taking responsibility for an organisation’s entire delivery
capability. That can be a massive job in a large organisation and they’re
focused on areas such as strategy execution; portfolio planning; managing
delivery staff and so on.

The title – ePMO – sums it up well – it’s the Enterprise level PMO.

It’s a given that you’ll also have senior management and leadership development
ongoing too.
