Our client is seeking a Senior PMO Consultant to support a critical enterprise ERP initiative leveraging Workday Extend. This individual will provide program leadership, establish and mature PMO practices, and serve as a strategic partner to business and technology stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. This is not a traditional project coordinator or administrative PM role. The ideal consultant combines strong project governance expertise with deep requirements gathering experience and the ability to navigate complex stakeholder dynamics, competing priorities, and evolving program needs.

The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in an environment where PMO standards exist but are still maturing, bringing both structure and flexibility to help drive successful outcomes.

We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
