Join our dynamic team as an Assistant Manager in Project Management (PMO), contributing to our Engineering as a Service and Operate functions. This role is pivotal in enhancing our operational excellence and driving strategic initiatives within the Project Management Office. You will be instrumental in shaping how we manage projects and deliver insights.
This position offers a unique opportunity to influence business operations, leverage data for strategic decision-making, and implement innovative solutions. You will work closely with leadership and various stakeholders to ensure the smooth execution of complex projects and foster continuous improvement across the organization. Your expertise will be key in transforming data into actionable business intelligence.
This role is central to managing the operational cadence for leadership forums, including orchestrating agendas, distributing pre-reading materials, meticulously tracking actions, and logging decisions with diligent follow-through.
Key responsibilities include developing executive-ready dashboards, scorecards, and compelling narratives that translate intricate data into clear, actionable business insights and strategic recommendations.
You will also serve as the operational driving force for vendor innovation initiatives, ensuring a disciplined progression from conceptualization to pilot, scaling, or exit stages.
Furthermore, you will support data governance and reporting efforts by establishing robust, repeatable processes, implementing validation controls, and championing single-source-of-truth reporting practices.
A critical aspect of this role involves the continuous identification of manual, fragmented, or inefficient processes, followed by the design and implementation of automated or AI-enabled solutions to significantly enhance speed, accuracy, and scalability.
Proactively surfacing risks, dependencies, and opportunities with clearly articulated options and proposed next steps is essential.
Adaptability to new, unexplored problem spaces and taking full ownership from problem definition through successful solution delivery is expected.
We are seeking candidates with a minimum of 7 years of experience in business operations, strategy, consulting, program management, analytics, or similar fields.
A proven ability to operate independently within ambiguous, fast-changing environments with minimal supervision is essential.
Strong experience in supporting senior leaders or executive-level governance and decision-making forums is a significant advantage.
Familiarity with data, analytics, or visualization tools and certifications such as Power BI, Tableau, or SQL is required.
Advanced proficiency in data analytics, reporting, Excel, PowerPoint, and analytical problem-solving skills are fundamental.
A demonstrated ability to connect data, context, and strategy to effectively drive desired business outcomes is crucial.
Preferred qualifications include exposure to IT services, vendor management, procurement, finance, or enterprise transformation programs. Hands-on experience with dashboards, workflow automation, AI tools, low-code/no-code platforms, or scripting is beneficial.
Comfort working across geographies and time zones with global stakeholders is highly valued. Preferred certifications include PMP, Agile, Lean Six Sigma, or similar program management certifications, as well as Automation, AI, or digital transformation-related certifications.
