About the role

About the Job

Hero Project Ownership: Lead end-to-end delivery of Hero Projects and other L/XL initiatives — owning requirements gathering, planning, cross-functional execution, change management, and closure. Make judgment calls on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs across interconnected workstreams.

AI Foundational Initiatives: Drive the strategic initiatives that build, scale, and operationalize the PMO's AI-enabled operating model — including intake automation, capacity planning, portfolio dashboards, and the next wave of PM AI capabilities. Apply sophisticated problem-solving to challenges that don't yet have an established playbook.

Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with senior leaders across CX, Product, Engineering, Tech Governance, BizSys, Legal, Security, and operational teams (Process, Content, L&D, Quality, WFM, Trust & Safety) to drive alignment, resolve conflicts, and unblock execution.

Executive Communication & Reporting: Build executive-ready decks, written updates, and visualizations that translate complexity for Director- and VP-level audiences. Own status reporting, metrics, and outcome storytelling — ensuring proper sign-off and visibility from leaders who need it.

PMO Scale & Framework: Help elevate the team by recommending improvements to PMO standards, frameworks, and best practices — including the operational backbone for how AI scales PM work across the org.

Pre-Planning Ownership: Lead upstream planning before each half starts — ensuring scope, dependencies, and resourcing are locked before execution begins.

Resource Coordination & Influence: Manage dependencies and align resources across teams, influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority to proactively contribute to project success.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of project management experience, ideally within a technology, operations, or customer experience organization.
  • Demonstrated success leading L/XL cross-functional programs end-to-end — including scope definition, dependency mapping, executive reporting, and risk management.
  • Track record of applying sophisticated problem-solving to ambiguous, interconnected challenges where the path forward isn't pre-defined.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complexity for Director- and VP-level audiences.
  • Experience creating high-quality project artifacts (charters, project plans, status reports, risk logs, executive updates) and presenting them to senior leadership.
  • Proven ability to manage dependencies, track milestones, and deliver results on time in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent work experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 7+ years of progressive PM experience, including independent ownership of XL cross-functional programs.
  • Experience working in Customer Experience, SaaS, or e-commerce environments.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-enabled PM tooling, automation platforms, or scaling PMO capabilities through technology (e.g., Gumloop, Glean, AI copilots, intake automation, capacity planning tools).
  • Familiarity with project management methodologies (Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall) and tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Asana, Jira, or similar).
  • Prior experience supporting enterprise-scale system implementations or CX technology rollouts (e.g., Salesforce, Genesys).
