This senior leader will play a critical role in maturing our delivery operations, standardizing project execution, optimizing resource allocation, and ensuring a best-in-class client experience.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives at the intersection of delivery discipline, client success, and operational scale.

• Establish enterprise-wide project governance, delivery frameworks, and portfolio visibility.
• Align project outcomes with business goals, including revenue, margin, and client satisfaction, while balancing risk and execution across a dynamic portfolio.
• Implement and enforce standards, playbooks, and delivery methodologies tailored to complex B2B and CPQ implementation projects.
• Own the project health reporting framework – tracking schedule, budget, resource burn, risk, and compliance.
• Ensure consistent project kickoff, scoping, change control, and closeout procedures.
• Oversee a high-volume, multi-client project portfolio with a focus on delivery feasibility, resource optimization, and proactive risk mitigation.
• Identify delivery risks and proactively intervene to resolve resourcing, scope, or client challenges before escalation.
• Provide regular health checks, forecasts, and status updates to executive leadership.
• Lead, develop, and hold accountable a globally distributed team of program managers, project managers, and business analysts.
• Cultivate a culture of delivery excellence, continuous improvement, and accountability.
• Champion knowledge sharing, retrospectives, and lessons learned as part of the organizational fabric.
• Act as a senior escalation point and trusted advisor to both internal stakeholders and client executives.
• Drive post-project reviews and ensure feedback loops inform delivery improvements and client retention strategies.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Practice Leaders, Client Services, and Resource Management to ensure smooth transitions from scoping to delivery.

Requirements:

• 12+ years of experience in project and program management within a Professional Services or consulting environment
• 5+ years in a PMO leadership role overseeing complex, multi-client portfolios
• Proven success delivering B2B software implementations, CPQ, CRM, ERP, or similar systems
• Deep understanding of both client services dynamics and internal delivery operations in high-complexity environments
