This is a strategic and advisory-led PMO role, focusing on strategic support, governance, stakeholder engagement, and influence, while working with internal teams who independently manage their own projects in combination with managing complex Aramco Europe wide projects directly. You will partner closely with project and program leaders within the organization, providing structured guidance on governance, reporting, risk management, and portfolio performance to ensure alignment with organizational priorities and standards.
The role adds value through insight, structure, coordination, and sound judgement, enabling informed decision‑making across Corporate Services.
