SHR – Software Hardware Re-engineered

About SHR Consulting Group:

SHR is a premier technology integrator solving our nation’s most complex modernization and readiness challenges across the defense, federal civilian, and intelligence markets. Our robust portfolio of offerings includes high-end solutions in systems engineering and integration; enterprise IT, including cloud services; cyber; software; advanced analytics and AI. With an intimate understanding of our customers’ challenges and deep expertise in existing and emerging technologies, we integrate the best components from our own portfolio and our partner ecosystem to deliver innovative, effective, and efficient solutions.

We are a rapidly growing organization seeking an IT PMO Lead to serve as a senior leader within a ~200-person onsite government IT services contract. Reporting directly to the Program Director, the IT PMO Lead does not individually execute each functional discipline but instead provides executive oversight, direction, and accountability across the full range of PMO functions—including project management, change and configuration management, logistics, quality assurance, contract deliverable management, process development and documentation, personnel onboarding, certification management, and training management.

The IT PMO Lead ensures that each functional discipline is staffed, performing to standard, and fully integrated into the larger contract’s operations and objectives. A primary focus of the role is identifying, scoping, and driving high-impact initiatives and projects across the program—personally leading project management efforts while developing and mentoring less experienced project managers and institutionalizing a disciplined, repeatable project management culture.

Work location is fully onsite at the Pentagon. Candidates must reside in the DC Metro Area to be considered.

Key Responsibilities:

Program Oversight and Accountability

• Report directly to the Program Director; serve as the senior PMO authority on the contract, translating program-level priorities and objectives into actionable direction for all functional discipline leads.
• Hold functional area leads accountable for performance, deliverable quality, and schedule adherence; establish clear expectations, metrics, and reporting cadences for each discipline.
• Ensure all PMO functions—project management, change and configuration management, logistics, quality assurance, contract deliverable management, process development, onboarding, certification, and training—are fully integrated and mutually supporting within the broader contract framework.
• Identify gaps, redundancies, or misalignments across functional areas and drive corrective actions; elevate issues to the Program Director with recommended courses of action.
• Represent the PMO in program-level reviews, government meetings, and leadership forums; provide concise, data-driven status updates on PMO health and functional performance.

Initiative and Project Leadership

• Proactively identify improvement opportunities, capability gaps, and strategic initiatives across the program; develop business cases, scope statements, and project charters to formalize and drive action.
• Personally lead high-priority, high-visibility projects from initiation through closure—establishing project plans, managing stakeholders, tracking progress, and communicating outcomes to leadership.
• Maintain an integrated view of all active projects and initiatives across the program; ensure dependencies are surfaced, resources are allocated appropriately, and competing priorities are adjudicated.
• Drive a project management culture across the contract workforce—modeling disciplined PM practices and setting the standard for planning, execution, risk management, and closeout.

Project Manager Development and Mentorship

• Directly supervise and develop less experienced project managers assigned to the PMO; provide…
