About The Position

The USCS Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for the oversight and governance of multiple high-visibility project initiatives across the organization that support the company’s strategic growth objectives. The purpose of the PMO is to provide visibility to leadership on the current project pipeline and ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. The Project Manager (PM) for the PMO is a strategic execution administrator, responsible for designing, optimizing, and deploying business infrastructure, cross-functional organizational initiatives, and operational change management.
