The Opportunity

In this role, you will sit at the operational heart of our client delivery function. Working alongside Project Managers, Engagement Directors, and technical leads, you will own project controls, drive portfolio governance, analyse delivery health, and produce executive-level reporting.

If you bring a sharp eye for detail, advanced analytical skills, and a passion for structured project environments, this role offers a platform to shape PMO standards across high-profile enterprise AI and data projects.

The work

What You’ll Do

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.

While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.

We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.

You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.

If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

• Own Project Controls: Track project baselines, milestones, budgets, resource allocations, and RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) across multi-stream delivery engagements.
• Deliver Executive Insights: Design, automate, and distribute high-impact PMO dashboards, status reports, and portfolio KPIs for executive leadership and steering committees.
• Analyse Performance: Evaluate project trends, highlight schedule variances, detect budget deviations, and provide early warning insights to maintain delivery velocity.
• Drive Governance & Compliance: Support project stage-gate reviews, ensure compliance with delivery frameworks, and maintain audit-ready project documentation.
• Enhance PMO Standards: Collaborate with delivery leaders to continuously optimize PMO templates, reporting workflows, and project management best practices.
