PMO Lead (Human)

Overview

We move big things and are constantly in motion. We are Europe\'s leading company for wagon rental and innovative logistics solutions. For our headquarters in Hamburg, we are looking for a PMO Lead (Human) to start as soon as possible.

You will ensure that initiatives across the organization deliver real, measurable business value and that the organization continuously improves its capability to deliver impact at scale. This is not a classic milestone-tracking PMO. Outcomes and value come first; milestones, governance, and discipline exist to protect impact.

Responsibilities

• Track initiatives primarily against business outcomes, financial and non-financial value, and strategic contribution
• Ensure transparency between planned and realized impact
• Identify and escalate risks to value realization early
• Maintain a clear, integrated view of the initiative portfolio
• Provide fact-based insights to support prioritization, trade-offs, and resource allocation decisions
• Call out underperforming or structurally weak initiatives
• Track milestones, risks, and dependencies in support of outcomes
• Ensure governance forums focus on decisions and impact rather than status reporting
• Support initiative owners with rhythm, structure, and clarity
• Set standards and build capability
• Define and continuously improve standards for outcome- and value-driven execution
• Establish common guidelines for outcome definition, benefits realization, initiative health, and impact reviews
• Coach initiative leads and build execution capabilities across the organization
• Act as a guardian of execution quality and rigor

Qualifications

• University degree in Business Administration, Economics or equivalent
• 5+ years in PMO, program roles
• Project, Program Management and/or PMO Certification (preferably PMI)
• Strong experience in outcome and value tracking
• High analytical and structuring skills
• Ability to translate complex execution data into clear management insights
• Credibility to enforce standards while enabling teams
• Confidence in engaging and influencing senior stakeholders

How Success is Measured

Transparency and accuracy of outcome and value reporting

Early identification of value risks

Consistent application of execution standards

Increasing maturity of impact-driven execution across the organization

Benefits

• Flexible working hours with the option to work remotely on a proportional basis
• Wide range of training and development opportunities for both professional and personal growth
• Attractive additional benefits such as meal subsidies, accident insurance, and contributions to company pension schemes
• Mobility benefits including financial support for the Germany Ticket and JobRad bicycle leasing
• Shopping discounts through our Corporate Benefits program
• Fitness and wellness support via membership with Urban Sports Club
• Employee referral program with attractive bonuses
• Health promotion initiatives such as flu vaccinations, back therapy, skin screenings, and psychosocial counseling
