CPMO Analyst
London Borough of Brent
Salary range: £52,194 - £55,323 p.a. inc. London weighting
Contract: Permanent
Hours of work: 36 hours per week
Location: Civic centre and other locations from time to time
The Role
You’ll sit at the heart of Brent’s new CPMO, providing high-quality analysis, reporting and insight across major programmes and projects.
You’ll:
- turn complex project data into clear dashboards and narratives
- challenge and improve the quality of reporting
- surface risks, trends and dependencies early
- support better governance and accountability
This isn’t about producing reports for the sake of it — it’s about making information meaningful and usable, so action happens when it should.
Why this role matters
Behind every council programme is a question residents care about:
- Is this working?
- Is it on track?
- Is public money being used wisely?
The CPMO Analyst exists to make sure those questions can be answered clearly, honestly and early — before problems escalate and before residents feel the impact of delay or failure.
Your analysis will help senior leaders understand what’s really happening across Brent’s change portfolio, so they can make timely, evidence-based decisions that protect services and outcomes.
The Person
You’ll enjoy working with data, but you’ll care just as much about what it’s used for. You’re comfortable asking questions, spotting patterns, and explaining complex information to non-technical audiences.
You’ll bring:
- Experience working in a PMO or project environment, supporting delivery across the full lifecycle
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and turn it into clear insights
- Experience producing reports, dashboards or visualisations (e.g. Power BI or similar tools)
- Confidence working with stakeholders, including the ability to challenge and validate information
- A strong understanding of project and programme management methods and governance
- The ability to communicate complex information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
You’ll be someone who is curious, detail-focused, and motivated by using data to support better decision-making and real-world outcomes.
