Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. PMO analysts and project coordinators sit below the band (£30,000–£45,000), project managers just below or at its bottom, programme managers within it and programme directors above (£90,000–£140,000). Contract day rates of £500–£800 are common; MSP, PRINCE2 and APM qualifications are the usual asks.
