Developer Experience — PMO & Finance Technology Partner
The Developer Experience team serves as the technology business partner to the Project Management Office (PMO) and Finance divisions. The PMO is a standalone division responsible for the end-to-end project management lifecycle — from project initiation, approval, and funding through to tracking, reporting, and closure. Our role is to understand their business needs and deliver the technology solutions, tooling, and integrations that support their processes.

What impact can you make in this role?

You will deeply understand their business processes — how projects are initiated, approved, funded, tracked, reported, and closed — and translate those needs into technology requirements and solutions.
This role requires someone with a strong understanding of both project management, business analysis, and finance, who is organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across engineering teams, PMO stakeholders, and finance partners.
