Three important notes that may not come through clearly in that description:
- Needs to be someone who can sit at a "portfolio level" helping them stand up their PMO toolkit and processes then over time empowering the client themselves to run with the capability internally (over the course of ~1 year)
- The role is focused on Admin initiatives only (Finance and Accounting, IT, Meetings/Events, and Facilities)
(HR out of scope)
- We'll have a Change Advisory leader budgeted for and attached to the account.
