About The Position

Adswerve is seeking a highly organized, strategic, and experienced leader to join our dynamic Project Management Office (PMO) as the PMO Manager. This role is pivotal to ensuring the PMO drives seamless project delivery by leading a team of project managers, architecting our project management systems, and maintaining the kind of proactive visibility that keeps project on scope and delivering business value. You will partner closely with senior leadership to scale delivery operations while remaining hands-on for high-profile engagements. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter with natural curiosity and a passion for leading teams and projects to successful outcomes. This leader thrives on creating clarity, ensuring that at any given moment, teams and clients understand what has been done, what is currently in flight, and what is explicitly outside the scope of a project. They are equally skilled at preventing problems as they are at solving them: identifying risks early and addressing them before they escalate. Superior interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills, as well as the ability to quickly grasp complex technical topics, are essential.
