The opportunity 

We are looking for a PMO Lead who helps teams move faster, stay focused, and make better decisions. This role supports the Legal & Integrity transformation portfolio by bringing structure, clarity, and follow-through to important initiatives. 

You will work closely with Legal, Integrity, Legal Operations Service Center, Legal Tech Lead, IS, AI teams, and external partners. Your job is to turn business needs into clear plans, connect the right people, and help initiatives land with measurable impact. 

The PMO is not an administrative control function. It is a lean enablement function that helps teams execute well, remove blockers, and keep leadership informed. 

Please submit your CV and relevant supporting documents, together with a short introduction explaining your interest in the role and how your skills, experience, and perspective could contribute to our team.

How you’ll make an impact 

• Keep one clear view of the transformation portfolio, including priorities, milestones, risks, and decisions 
• Help teams define simple plans with clear ownership, timelines, deliverables, and success criteria 
• Track progress, spot blockers early, and drive follow-through on actions and commitments 
• Prepare decision-ready updates for leadership, steering committees, and portfolio governance forums 
• Translate legal and operational needs into structured business and technical requirements 
• Act as a bridge between Legal, Integrity, Legal Tech, IS, AI teams, and vendors.  
• Support AI and legal tech initiatives by helping define use-cases, scope, requirements, and measurable outcomes 
• Use modern tools such as Microsoft 365, Loop, Power BI, and Copilot to reduce manual work and improve visibility 

Your background 

• A bachelor’s degree in business, technology, operations, project management, or a related field and equivalent practical experience  
• Approximately 5–10 years’ experience in a multinational environment 
• Strong experience in project, program, or portfolio management 
• A practical, outcome-focused mindset and the ability to turn strategy into execution 
• Good business analysis skills, including requirements gathering, process mapping, and problem framing 
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders, project sponsors, technical teams, and external partners 
• Strong communication skills, especially the ability to simplify complex topics 
• Comfort working across business and technology teams 
• Experience with tools such as Power BI, Microsoft Teams, Loop, Copilot or similar collaboration and reporting tools 
• Interest in using AI to improve delivery, reporting, and ways of working 
• Fluency in English (communication with stakeholders on senior/executive levels)

Use of Al and automated tools in recruitment

Background Screening and Security Checks

As part of the hiring process, Hitachi Energy conducts pre-employment background checks that may include verification of employment history, education, criminal records, and other relevant information, in accordance with applicable laws.

For certain roles—particularly those involving access to sensitive information, financial responsibilities, client data, regulated environments, or security-sensitive functions—additional or more comprehensive background or security screenings may be required. These may include, but are not limited to, enhanced criminal history checks, credit history reviews (where legally permissible), sanctions screening, or other due diligence measures aligned with the responsibilities of the position.

The scope and depth of any background or security review will be determined based on the nature of the role and business necessity, and will always be conducted in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Candidates will be notified and, where required, asked to provide consent prior to the initiation of any such checks.
