Manager, PMO

145k – 181kLos Angeles, CATechnical Program ManagementHybrid5+ YOE
Summary

Owns the PMO function for enterprise Professional Services: builds delivery methodology, escalation frameworks, portfolio health reporting, RCA programs, and tooling adoption at a B2B SaaS company.

About the role

What You’ll Do

Build and govern the PS delivery methodology

  • Define and maintain the implementation framework — phases, milestones, go/no-go criteria, and sign-off standards — for all customer segments (SMB, Mid-Market, Enterprise)
  • Ensure methodology is documented, version-controlled, and consistently adopted across the delivery team

Own the PS portfolio view and health reporting

  • Maintain a real-time view of all active implementations: stage, health score, risk flags, and projected go-live dates
  • Produce weekly and monthly reporting for PS leadership and cross-functional stakeholders

Design and enforce the escalation framework

  • Build the tiered escalation model that governs when accounts move from CSM-level to management-level to ELT visibility
  • Define triggers, SLAs, and DRI accountability at each tier so no at-risk account goes undetected past defined thresholds

Lead the post-implementation RCA program

  • Own the RCA process for contract rejections and high-risk churns — including template selection, root cause categorization, corrective action assignment, and aggregate trend reporting
  • Ensure learnings are fed back into the delivery methodology and playbooks on a regular cadence

Drive PS tooling and process infrastructure

  • Own the configuration and adoption of PS tooling (Salesforce, Gainsight, project tracking) so systems reflect ground truth, not a best-case view
  • Ensure IMs and CSMs spend time on customers, not on admin overhead

Build and maintain implementation playbooks

  • Develop playbooks by customer type (service-only, construction, ERP-integrated) that reflect current product capabilities, known integration requirements, and field learnings
  • Maintain them as living documents — updated after every significant account learning

What We Look For

  • 5+ years in a Professional Services, Customer Success, or Implementation leadership role at a B2B SaaS company
  • Direct experience building or owning a PMO or delivery methodology function — not just following one
  • Proven track record managing complex, multi-stakeholder implementations involving ERP or accounting integrations (NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks, etc.)
  • Strong analytical skills — you can build a portfolio health dashboard and explain what it means to a VP in three minutes
  • Experience designing escalation frameworks and churn intervention playbooks
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to navigate ambiguity and drive consensus
  • Experience working in or serving the construction, field service, or trades industry is a strong plus
  • Proficiency with Salesforce and at least one implementation or project management tool (GCX, Certinia, Asana, etc.)

Nice-To-Haves

  • PMP, PgMP, or equivalent project management certification
  • Experience with Gainsight or a CS health-scoring platform
  • Background in RCA methodologies: 5 Whys, FMEA, DMAIC, or Fishbone
  • Prior experience scaling a PS team from 10 to 30+ IMs and CSMs
  • Has built a Sales-to-CS handoff process from scratch and measured its impact on time-to-value

Tools & Platforms

  • CRM and CS platforms: Salesforce, Gainsight, GUIDEcx
  • Project tracking: ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Confluence
  • ERP and accounting integrations: NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage
