Re:Build Manufacturing • Framingham, MA

12h • Hybrid

About The Position

The PMO Director will lead the Program Management Organization (PMO), a team of highly skilled cross-functional program managers that lead strategic programs with high commercial value and technical or organizational complexity. The PMO Director will manage the PMO team and processes to ensure steady progress toward program goals - from opportunity capture through contract performance - leveraging functional expertise from site leadership and the commercial, technology development, engineering, operations, finance, and legal teams. They will ensure clearly communicated expectations for deliverables, budget, and schedule and oversee coordination of activity across all teams to deliver on commitments. This will require close partnership with the commercial team to (a) ensure that written commercial agreements capture operational requirements that can be translated into performance, and (b) develop customer-focused strategies to manage relationships and grow opportunities within existing program customers. The PMO leader will also be responsible for development, implementation, and continuous improvement of processes and mechanisms for accountability to schedule, budget, and customer requirements. They will ensure clear communication of progress and deviations to schedule, budget and recovery/mitigation plans at the appropriate levels of management. They will identify and manage risks - operational, technical, financial - and ensure that mitigation plans are developed and implemented. They will foster strong relationships with customers, supporting program managers in engaging with customers at the right level. They will apply high judgment to align program objectives with Re:Build Manufacturing’s strategic priorities.
