POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a Director of PMO to build, scale, and lead our Program Management Office.

Portfolio & Strategic Execution: Translate executive strategy, roadmaps and incoming work into actionable programs. Drive cross-functional alignment across Sales, Engineering, and Operations, managing how projects are run, budgets, risks, and resource prioritization. Facilitate trade-off discussions to optimize value delivery.


Process & Tooling Modernization: Implement scalable, lightweight delivery standards without slowing down high-velocity teams. Define and drive tooling for roadmaps and end-to-end portfolio visibility.


Operational Excellence: Define and operationalize meaningful metrics and dashboards to improve predictability, transparency, and executive decision-making. Champion continuous improvement by resolving cross-team conflicts and eliminating process friction.


REQUIREMENTS

  • Expertise in Agile methodologies, portfolio management and reporting.
  • Hands-on experience driving the adoption of modern PMO tools and data infrastructure.
  • Proven ability to influence across functions without formal authority, resolve ambiguity, and communicate risks and trade-offs clearly to executives.
