Leads and governs an enterprise-wide project management office, overseeing strategic initiatives, operational programs, technology investments, and transformation portfolios. Establishes PMO standards, methodologies, tools, and governance; provides executive visibility into delivery status, dependencies, risks, and financial impact; supports private equity value-creation initiatives and integrations; applies Lean process improvement; and builds a high-performing EPMO team.
The Director of the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) is responsible for establishing, leading, and governing a centralized EPMO that drives execution discipline, prioritization, and value realization across the organization. This role ensures that strategic initiatives, operational programs, and technology investments are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to private equity value-creation objectives.

- Oversee the enterprise project and program portfolio, providing clear visibility into status, dependencies, risks, and financial impact.
- Support PE value-creation initiatives, add-on integrations, and transformation programs with rigorous execution oversight.
- Apply Lean and process improvement principles to improve delivery efficiency and reduce execution friction.
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing EPMO team, including senior project managers, project managers, and project coordinators.
- Own PMO tools, dashboards, and reporting standards (Monday.com, Smartsheet, Microsoft Planner/Project, Power BI, SharePoint).
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Operations, Health Administration or a related field; MBA or Master's preferred.
- 8–12 years of progressive experience in project, program, or portfolio management.
- 5+ years leading enterprise change or transformation initiatives.
