As the PMO Lead, you will be the operational architect and heartbeat of the Future of Work program. You will lead a decentralized team of Project Managers situated within specific technical PODs and workstreams to ensure global alignment, resource efficiency, and measurable business impact. You are not just a coordinator; you are a builder. You will be responsible for defining the 'how' of our execution—setting up the processes, tools, meeting cadences, and automation layers that allow our three workstreams to scale.
Job Responsibility:
Program Governance & Strategy: Establish the PMO: Define and implement the Program Management Office from the ground up, including clear Terms of Reference (ToR) for all workstreams
Reporting Lines: Provide leadership and oversight to Project Managers across the program

Council Management: Facilitate alignment and communication between the program and our three governing bodies: Strategic & Growth Council, Technical & Innovation Council, Risk, Trust & Governance Council
Process Engineering & Tools: Standardize the T25 Methodology: Codify the six-workshop process for client workflow mapping and future-state blueprinting
Meeting Architecture: Design and facilitate the program’s meeting cadence, ensuring high-impact outcomes for kickoffs, status updates, and roadmap reviews
System Ownership: Own the program’s workspace strategy, ensuring seamless integration between: Asana: General project management and task tracking, Jira & Confluence: Technical build management and documentation, G Suite: General collaboration and communication
AI-First Automation: PMO Automation: Actively use AI to automate manual PMO functions, such as status report generation, risk identification, and audit queries
Tooling Innovation: Partner with the technical PODs to implement Gemini and our internal assistant into daily project workflows
Proactive Intelligence: Implement smart workflows to shift the PMO from reactive reporting to proactive risk mitigation and resource optimization
Requirements:
Expert PMO Leadership: Extensive experience running complex, multi-workstream digital transformation or product development programs in a global agency or tech environment

AI Fluent: Deep understanding of Agentic Orchestration, LLMs, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows. You should be a 'power user' of AI tools
Modern Toolset: Advanced proficiency in Asana, Jira, Confluence, and the Google Workspace ecosystem (including Gemini)
