The Director of the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) is responsible for establishing, leading, and governing a centralized EPMO that drives execution discipline, prioritization, and value realization across the organization. This role ensures that strategic initiatives, operational programs, and technology investments are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to private equity value-creation objectives.
This is a senior leadership role, not an administrative PMO. The Director is accountable for enterprise delivery outcomes, portfolio transparency, and executive decision support. The ideal candidate brings a consulting-trained mindset or prior enterprise PMO leadership experience, with the credibility to influence executives and impose structure across complex, cross-functional initiatives.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Establish and lead an enterprise-wide PMO framework, including standards, methodologies, tools, and governance models.
- Define portfolio management processes to prioritize initiatives based on strategic alignment, ROI, risk, and capacity.
- Ensure consistent execution discipline across business, operational, and technology projects.
- Partner with the Product Management and executive leadership to embed governance into how work is chartered, approved, and closed.
- Oversee the enterprise project and program portfolio, providing clear visibility into status, dependencies, risks, and financial impact.
- Partner with executive leadership to resolve resource conflicts and make trade-off decisions.
- Ensure benefits realization and post-implementation value tracking against the Value Creation Plan.
- Provide portfolio-level reporting to the CEO, President & COO, CAO, CFO, CIO, CCO, and the Board.
- Support PE value-creation initiatives, add-on integrations, and transformation programs with rigorous execution oversight.
- Prepare executive and board-level reporting with clear, concise, decision-ready insights.
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on delivery risk, sequencing, and execution feasibility.
- Apply Lean and process improvement principles to improve delivery efficiency and reduce execution friction.
- Embed standard practices for scope control, change management, risk management, and issue escalation.
- Drive consistency without unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing EPMO team, including senior project managers, project managers, and project coordinators.
- Define role clarity, performance expectations, and career development paths.
- Coach leaders and teams on enterprise delivery best practices and executive stakeholder engagement.
- Own PMO tools, dashboards, and reporting standards (, Smartsheet, Microsoft Planner/Project, Power BI, SharePoint).
- Define and track KPIs related to delivery performance, resource utilization, and benefits realization.
- Ensure leadership has a single source of truth for enterprise execution.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
