Quantum PMO Lead

At Mindbox we connect top IT talents with technology projects for leading enterprises across Europe. 

Join our client's team, where you'll play a key role in shaping the governance and operational backbone of a strategic quantum-safe transformation programme at one of the world's leading financial institutions. Your contribution will help deliver high-impact solutions in cybersecurity – quantum-safe technology at enterprise scale, within a complex, highly regulated environment.

Sounds like your kind of challenge? 

• Owning and running the programme governance structure (SteerCo, working groups, interlocks), including agendas, actions, decisions, and full audit trails
• Maintaining the programme delivery framework: RAID, dependency management, change control, delivery standards, and consistent templates across all workstreams
• Building and maintaining an integrated programme plan across eight execution tracks: Risk Assessment & Prioritisation; Discovery & Inventory; Vendor Alignment & Ecosystem Readiness; Migration Design & Crypto-agility; Policy, Standards & Guardrails; Enablement & Training; Mitigation & Remediation; Innovation & Development
• Owning programme dashboards and performance reporting, tracking progress against agreed OKRs and targets; establishing a single source of truth for milestones, deliverables, and benefits realisation
• Leading programme financial governance: budget tracking, forecasting, change requests, and annual funding submissions; maintaining resourcing and capacity views across teams and execution tracks
• Providing delivery assurance to ensure workstreams meet governance and control expectations; coordinating cross-cutting risks with clear ownership and time-bound mitigations
• Producing SteerCo-ready reporting: clear narrative, data integrity, and decision prompts
• Acting as the central coordination point for programme communications across cybersecurity, business lines, architecture/engineering, technology risk stakeholders, and control functions

Note: Detailed project information will be shared during the recruitment process. 

Must have:

• Significant experience leading PMO / programme office functions within complex, multi-workstream change in a regulated environment
• Strong governance, planning, RAID/dependency management, and executive reporting skills
• Strong financial management capability: forecasting, budget tracking, and change control discipline
• Advanced tooling and MI skills: JIRA/Confluence, reporting dashboards/analytics, strong Excel/PowerPoint discipline
• Confident stakeholder management with the ability to drive alignment without formal authority

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with quantum-safe / PQC programme concepts and their delivery implications (inventory, migration waves, vendor readiness, training)
• Experience supporting cyber, cryptography, or large-scale technology risk programmes
• Experience operating across global stakeholder groups and federated delivery structures
• Prior experience within a highly regulated financial institution
