Stand up the PMO from the ground up and become the architect of how the business delivers.
Company Overview:
A fast-growing, well-backed technology and professional services firm is standing up its Program Management Office from the ground up — and hiring a PMO Director to own it. If you love bringing structure to ambiguity and running delivery like a business, this is a rare build-it-your-way seat.
You'll build the PMO that lets this business scale — standing up the intake, governance, and financial discipline that free delivery teams to focus on clients, sharpen margins, and give leadership real visibility into project health. Rare greenfield ownership with immediate, measurable impact.
What You'll Own:
Governance for all active advisory/delivery engagements — from SOW intake through delivery to financial close
The sales-to-delivery handoff: turning scope, deliverables, and fees into a real project plan before kickoff
Budget, P&L, and margin for every project — flagging scope creep and variances early
Utilization and resource/capacity planning to drive staffing and hiring decisions
Partnering with Finance on accurate services revenue recognition and change-order management
Building the PMO playbook and reporting project health, financials, and risk to leadership and the Board via dashboards
What They're Looking For:
7+ years in program/project management or PMO within professional services, consulting, or technical delivery
Hands-on ownership of project
budgets, P&L, and margin
— not just tasks and timelines
Working knowledge of
services revenue recognition
and tight partnership with Finance
Experience operationalizing SOWs, managing change orders, and tracking utilization
Built or standardized PMO processes, templates, or playbooks
PSA tools (OpenAir, Kantata/Mavenlink, Smartsheet, or similar) + strong Excel/BI
Comfortable presenting to executive leadership and the Board
Nice to have:
Cybersecurity, IT services, or VAR/MSP/MSSP background; PMP/PgMP; experience standing up a PMO at a PE-backed company.
