Salary Range: $130,000-$285,000, based on experience and desire for equity.

The Role

We are seeking a PMO Director to build execution discipline across complex technical programs. This leader will implement project governance, reporting, and controls so leadership can make decisions with clear schedule, cost, and risk visibility.

What You’ll Do

Stand up and lead PMO functions (governance, reporting, standards, software, templates)

Implement integrated planning and controls (schedule, cost, risk, change control)

Drive consistent project cadence (reviews, milestone governance, executive reporting)

Partner with technical leads to translate engineering reality into measurable execution plans

Develop dashboards and decision-ready narratives for leadership and stakeholders

Coach project managers and cross-functional teams on best practices

Qualifications

8+ years experience in project management / PMO leadership for complex programs

Strong communication and executive-ready reporting skills

Ability to drive cross-functional alignment and decision making, simultaneously equipping middle management while holding people accountable for deliverables.

Familiarity with scheduling tools (Primavera P6 or similar) and earned value concepts

Preferred

Experience in nuclear, energy, infrastructure, or other highly regulated environments

Strong preference for past nuclear construction and R&D/design of nuclear reactors project management experience. Someone that has a decent idea of what credible cost/schedule inputs are for a nuclear project’s precise deliverables so they can quench over-optimism and push back on excessively long estimates as appropriate.

Demonstrated ability to create department from scratch rather than someone that has always inherited a mature functioning PMO department.

Benefits

Competitive salary • 401(k) with match • Health, dental & vision insurance • Equity • Relocation Assistance
