• Familiarity with PMO governance frameworks, including GDP, PDP, or similar methodologies
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience supporting major IT or business transformation programs
• Exposure to regulatory, audit, or risk-managed environments
• Experience coordinating across multiple programs or workstreams

Work Environment

• Hybrid schedule: 4 days on-site (Mon-Thurs)
• Collaborative, enterprise IT environment
• Fast-paced organization undergoing transformation and modernization
