Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Governance
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a global team of Project Managers and Program Managers, ensuring the right skills, levels, and capacity are in place to support business growth.

  • Define and enforce delivery standards, methodologies, and best practices to ensure consistency, predictability, and customer satisfaction.
  • Provide executive visibility into portfolio health, project risks, financials, and business outcomes.
  • Ensure partner awareness in all delivery models—aligning governance and oversight for both internal projects and those executed with or by SI and consulting partners.

Delivery Quality & Standards
  • Ensure projects and programs are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Drive proactive risk management, escalation processes, and issue resolution to safeguard delivery success.
  • Create and maintain standard templates, playbooks, and checklists to elevate project discipline.
  • Monitor adherence to ISO/industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC2, GDPR, etc.) where relevant.
  • Oversee partner-delivered projects, ensuring they adhere to the same quality, methodology, and governance standards as internal delivery.
  • Work closely with Systems Integrators (SIs), consulting partners, and alliance teams to align project management practices, share accountability, and guarantee consistency in customer outcomes.

Portfolio & Resource Management
  • Manage global portfolio prioritization, ensuring resources are allocated effectively across strategic programs and customer delivery initiatives.
  • Match the right project/program manager skillsets to the complexity and scale of initiatives (e.g., enterprise vs. mid-market SaaS deployments, internal transformation projects).
  • Oversee project staffing, capacity planning, and regional workload balancing.
  • Partner with Professional Services leadership and SI partners to ensure effective resourcing, onboarding, and alignment of external teams into the global delivery portfolio.

Business Cadence & Reporting
  • Run global PMO cadences, including steering committees, executive updates, and delivery reviews.
  • Produce clear, data-driven reporting on KPIs, portfolio status, risk exposure, and delivery quality.
  • Partner with Finance, Customer Success, and Professional Services to ensure revenue recognition alignment, margin tracking, and delivery efficiency.
  • Provide transparency into both direct and partner-led project performance, including delivery quality, customer satisfaction, and financial outcomes.
  • Continuous Improvement
  • Identify opportunities to streamline delivery processes, reduce time-to-value, and improve customer experience.
  • Benchmark against industry standards (e.g., PMI, PRINCE2, Agile/SCRUM, SAFe) and introduce innovations in delivery practices.
  • Promote a culture of accountability, learning, and growth within the PMO function.
  • Establish joint improvement initiatives with key SI partners to ensure continuous alignment of practices, skills, and customer-facing delivery excellence.

Key Qualifications
 
  • 12+ years of experience in project/program management, with at least 5 years in a senior PMO leadership role in EPM SaaS or ERP Enterprise Software.
  • Proven track record managing global teams across the US, Europe, and Asia.
  • Deep expertise in SaaS delivery models, enterprise customer programs, and multi-region rollouts.
  • Strong knowledge of project management methodologies (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile, SAFe, etc.).
  • Experience managing both internal delivery teams and partner-led projects, including working with large Systems Integrators (SIs) and global consulting firms.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management, executive presence, and communication skills.
  • Strong financial acumen, able to align delivery execution with revenue and margin goals.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth SaaS environment with specialization in FP&A, Consolidation, Retail Planning or Supply chain planning.
  • A second Language is a plus (Italian, French, German)
