- Apply Lean and process improvement principles to improve delivery efficiency and reduce execution friction.
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing EPMO team, including senior project managers, project managers, and project coordinators.
- Own PMO tools, dashboards, and reporting standards (Monday.com, Smartsheet, Microsoft Planner/Project, Power BI, SharePoint).

- 8–12 years of progressive experience in project, program, or portfolio management.
