Job description
Why Greencore?
We’re one of the UK’s largest food manufacturers, employing over 14,000 colleagues across 16 manufacturing units and 17 distribution depots. We supply all the UK’s major food retailers with everything from sandwiches, soups, and sushi to cooking sauces, pickles, and ready meals. In the last financial year, we generated revenues of £1.8bn.
Our mission is to make every day taste better.
This role sits within our Group function, supporting a major, multi-year transformation programme called Making Business Easier. It’s a high-profile, fast-paced change initiative designed to simplify how we work, strengthen how we deliver, and make it easier to grow.
Based in our Leeds Broadgate office, right in the heart of the city centre, this is a hybrid role. You’ll typically work two-to-three days per week in the office, with the rest from home. There will also be some travel to other sites in Yorkshire, and occasionally further afield
What you’ll be doing
As a PMO Analyst, you’ll help drive delivery across one of the most ambitious transformation programmes in our business. You’ll work within our newly established programme office, supporting governance, planning, and reporting for multiple interdependent workstreams. This is a collaborative, hands-on role with a lot of variety—and the chance to help shape how we run change at Greencore.
You’ll be:
- Supporting programme planning, governance, and delivery tracking across workstreams
- Managing RAID logs, timelines, and status reports with rigour and consistency
- Gathering, analysing and presenting key data in Excel and PowerPoint
- Preparing updates and presentations for internal forums and steering groups
- Tracking milestones and interdependencies, helping to spot risks early
- Working closely with project managers, business leads, and external partners
- Helping embed ways of working as we implement a new project portfolio management (PPM) tool
- Taking ownership for assigned areas, while rotating tasks across a close-knit PMO team
What we’re looking for
We’re open to a range of experience levels—from established PMO professionals to those earlier in their careers, with the right mindset, skills, and potential.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
- Experience supporting programmes or projects in a PMO or project environment
- Great attention to detail, especially when managing plans, trackers, and reports
- Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills (essential), with the ability to turn data into insight
- A confident, proactive approach to working with stakeholders—able to challenge with tact
- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities
- A collaborative mindset and appetite to learn, rotate tasks, and improve how things are done
- Any experience with PPM tools (e.g. PlanView, Amplify) is a bonus—but not essential
At Greencore we put our people at the core. We celebrate their differences and help everyone to be themselves at work. Together, we make every day taste better.
What you’ll get in return
- Competitive salary and job-related benefits
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Pension up to 8% matched
- Life insurance up to 4x salary
- Company share save scheme
- Greencore training and qualifications
- Exclusive Greencore employee discount platform
- Access to a full Wellbeing Centre platform
Throughout your time at Greencore, you’ll be supported with on-the-job training and development opportunities to grow your career.
