Job Description

About the Role

In large, complex organizations, project management is not about timelines alone; it is the discipline that converts strategy into execution. We are seeking a Director of Project Management to lead enterprise-wide project and program delivery across a diverse portfolio of strategic initiatives, technology transformations, and operational improvements.

This role is designed for a senior leader who understands how to govern, scale, and professionalize project execution at the enterprise level. The Director of Project Management will oversee the project management function, define delivery standards, and ensure that critical initiatives are executed with consistency, accountability, and measurable business impact.

You will partner closely with executive leadership, business unit heads, and technology teams to prioritize initiatives, allocate resources, and remove delivery obstacles. Your mandate is to create clarity, predictability, and transparency across a complex project portfolio—ensuring that strategic priorities translate into real outcomes.

This is not a delivery-only role. It is a mandate to build project management as a strategic enterprise capability, one that drives execution discipline, risk management, and value realization at scale.

Strategic Support

  • Partner with Finance on budgeting, forecasting, and benefits realization.

  • Collaborate with Technology and Operations on delivery planning and execution.

  • Support M&A integration, restructuring, and enterprise initiatives.

  • Periodic domestic and international travel as required.
