Owns end-to-end delivery, including scope definition, work plans, schedules, budgets, resource planning, and success metrics to ensure disciplined execution.
Drives cross-functional alignment by partnering with business and technical leaders to clarify outcomes, roles, decision-making, and ways of working; facilitates timely decisions and issue resolution.
Establishes and oversees project governance, including charters, stage gates, risk and issue management, change control, and executive reporting to ensure transparency and accountability.
Develops and manages integrated master schedules, dependency mapping, and portfolio-level RAID logs; proactively identifies risks and drives mitigation, escalation, and resolution strategies.
Leads portfolio resource and financial management, including capacity planning, forecasting, and variance analysis; recommends prioritization and sequencing to optimize delivery.
Provides delivery leadership and mentorship to project teams and project managers by modeling best practices, strengthening planning and governance, and enhancing stakeholder engagement.
Leads communication and change management efforts, including stakeholder alignment, training, adoption metrics, and post-implementation stabilization to ensure sustained business value.

Supports enterprise planning and prioritization activities by maintaining intake artifacts (charters, business cases, high-level estimates) and ensuring readiness for governance reviews.
Contributes to continuous improvement of project and portfolio delivery by refining templates, dashboards, and reporting cadences; captures lessons learned and drives adoption of best practices.
Performs other duties as assigned.

Demonstrated ability to lead large, complex initiatives from concept through delivery, including defining scope, building integrated plans, managing dependencies, and driving adoption/change across diverse teams.
Experience managing multiple concurrent projects and/or a strategic portfolio, with the ability to prioritize, negotiate tradeoffs, and deliver outcomes in a dynamic environment.
Strong risk and issue management skills, including comfort operating with discretion and sound judgment in complex, high-visibility, and/or regulated environments.
Excellent stakeholder management and executive-level communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex information, surface risks/options, and influence across departments without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications:

Master’s degree preferred (e.g., MBA, MPA, MS, or related).
Project Management Professional (PMP) certification preferred (or demonstrated equivalent mastery of project management standards and practices).
PMO experience, including building/using governance, templates, stage gates, and portfolio reporting to improve delivery consistency and transparency.
Demonstrated experience delivering multi-year programs and large-scale initiatives with significant change management and cross-organizational dependencies.
Experience managing vendors and external partners (contracts, statements of work, deliverables, performance), as applicable to project delivery.
Advanced proficiency with project/portfolio tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow PPM, or similar) and strong analytical skills for schedule/financial/status reporting.
Demonstrated ability to lead through influence, build strong partnerships, and drive accountability across multiple departments while maintaining a high bar for quality and customer/service outcomes.
