The people who shape our company come from other backgrounds, including concert music performances, humanitarian aid, opera singing, sports writing, and BMX racing. You will be part of a team that loves to succeed together.
In addition to our enriching and collegial working environment, we offer highly competitive compensation and benefits packages, technology talks by our experts, a beautiful modern office, daily catered lunches, and more.

  • Mentor and coach a growing team of PMO staff, fostering a collaborative and results-driven environment
  • Establish and manage systems for tracking and reporting on business performance metrics, using data to drive decisions and optimize resource allocation
  • Act as the trusted advisor for senior leaders and teams, helping them navigate complex challenges and make data-driven decisions to meet both short-term and long-term objectives

Requirements:
  • Minimum of 8-10 years of program or project management experience, with at least 3 years in a management role focused on strategy operations or technical program management
  • Proven track record of managing and delivering complex, cross-functional programs and initiatives within fast-paced, high-tech environments
  • Strong business acumen, with the ability to link strategic objectives to operational outcomes and drive organizational growth
  • Excellent collaboration, leadership, and communication skills, with the ability to influence and partner effectively with senior leadership, technical teams, and stakeholders across the organization
  • Adept at identifying risks and roadblocks early, analyzing potential solutions, and developing strategies for overcoming challenges in a dynamic and evolving environment
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, handle competing priorities, and execute with precision
  • Strategic mindset with a passion for driving organizational excellence, improving operational processes, and delivering results
  • Exceptional analytical skills and experience using data to inform decision-making and guide organizational improvements
