The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving complex problems, and is energized by helping build structure, process, and scalability within a growing organization.

• Coordinate work across departments while managing dependencies and competing priorities.

• Facilitate meetings, drive decision-making, and ensure accountability for project deliverables.
• Communicate project status, risks, and recommendations clearly and effectively.
• Build strong relationships and influence outcomes without direct reporting authority.

Risk, Budget & Resource Management

• Identify potential project risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Escalate issues with clear analysis and recommended solutions.
• Manage project budgets, monitor variances, and recommend corrective actions when necessary.
• Oversee vendor relationships and ensure external partners meet expectations.
• Drive cost efficiencies without sacrificing quality or timelines.

PMO Development & Process Improvement

• Contribute to the design and development of PMO methodologies, standards, tools, and reporting frameworks.
• Establish repeatable project management processes that support organizational growth.
• Conduct post-project reviews, document lessons learned, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support change management activities associated with project implementation.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business administration, Operations Management, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of project management, business operations, or related experience.
