We are seeking an experienced and highly organized Project Manager to join the PMO as a core practitioner and contributor.

The Project Manager brings rigor, accountability, and process discipline to high-visibility programs, ensuring initiatives are well-planned, clearly tracked, and delivered with executive-level transparency.
This individual will serve as a trusted PMO resource across multiple business functions, owning project delivery end-to-end while contributing to the development and continuous improvement of PMO standards, tools, and governance frameworks. Their work will have a direct and measurable impact on the organization’s ability to execute at scale.
The ideal candidate is a structured thinker and proactive communicator who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments. They know how to bring clarity to ambiguity, build processes that stick, and hold large groups of stakeholders accountable without friction.
- Manage a portfolio of cross-functional programs and projects on behalf of the PMO, including the company’s GTM product launch workstream as a primary area of focus.
- Partner with the PMO Lead to maintain a consolidated view of active initiatives, ensuring visibility into priorities, timelines, resource capacity, and interdependencies.
- Apply PMO methodology, governance standards, and best practices consistently across all assigned programs and projects.
- Support the PMO in evolving its operating model, contributing to how the function structures, prioritizes, and delivers work organization-wide.
- Assist in onboarding and orienting project stakeholders to PMO processes, tools, and expectations at the start of each initiative.
- Lead end-to-end project planning and execution for assigned initiatives, including scope definition, milestone development, resource coordination, and deliverable tracking.
- Own project management for 5–10 GTM product launches per year, managing launch tier requirements, cross-functional dependencies, readiness reviews, and go/no-go checkpoints.
- Maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and dependency maps, keeping all workstreams aligned and on track throughout the project lifecycle.
- Coordinate across Product, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Customer Experience, Finance, Revenue Operations, Legal, and Partnerships to ensure cross-functional readiness and accountability.
- Identify and escalate risks, blockers, and issues early, coordinating resolution across teams to protect timelines and delivery quality.
- Serve as the primary point of contact and coordination for all stakeholders within assigned programs, from working teams to executive leadership.
- Manage stakeholder communications proactively — ensuring the right information reaches the right audiences with the right level of detail and at the right cadence.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships across functions, fostering a culture of shared accountability and collaborative problem-solving.
- Ensure teams are aligned on scope, priorities, and commitments at every stage of a project, reducing friction and re-work.
- Maintain project tracking tools (e.g., Monday.com, Jira, or equivalent) to ensure accurate, real-time visibility into project status across all active workstreams.
- Produce clear, concise, and executive-ready status reports, dashboards, and program updates aligned with PMO reporting cadences.
- Maintain risk registers, issue logs, and dependency trackers; proactively surface and manage risks before they affect delivery.
- Track and report on planned vs. actual progress, identifying trends, variances, and forward-looking risks across the portfolio.
- Continuously evaluate the processes, frameworks, and tools used to plan and deliver programs; identifying gaps and driving improvements in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
- Develop, maintain, and improve project templates, playbooks, and documentation to increase delivery consistency and repeatability across the PMO.
- Lead post-project and post-launch reviews, translating lessons learned into process improvements embedded into future work.
- Contribute to the maturation of PMO capabilities, including governance structures, reporting standards, and delivery frameworks as the organization scales.
- 7+ years of project or program management experience, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced environments.
- Demonstrated experience working within or closely alongside a PMO, with strong working knowledge of project management frameworks, governance, and delivery standards.
- Significant exposure to product launches or go-to-market execution in SaaS, fintech, or similarly complex industries.
- PMP, PgMP, or equivalent project/program management certification.
- Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities and high stakeholder visibility.
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills — able to identify root causes, connect the dots across workstreams, and drive resolution across teams.
- Exceptional organizational and communication skills; comfortable adapting from working-team coordination to executive-level reporting.
- Proficiency in project management tools and methodologies (e.g., Monday.com, Jira, Asana) and a continuous improvement mindset.
