Project Management Office (PMO) Manager - Boston

Compensation: $120,000 - $145,000 per year, based on experience

What you'll do:

As a PMO Manager, you'll own the operational infrastructure that ensures strategic initiatives move from kickoff to successful completion. Your core responsibilities include:

• Designing the frameworks, standards, and workflows that keep projects from going off the rails
• Monitoring progress across the entire portfolio and surfacing issues before they become disasters
• Leading weekly status meetings with executives and giving them the unfiltered truth about what's working and what isn't
• Making the tough calls on resource allocation when ten projects need the same three people
• Developing project managers and team leads so they can run tighter, smarter initiatives
• Creating executive dashboards that show actual outcomes, not just activity metrics
• Jumping into stalled projects, diagnose what's broken, and get momentum back
• Identifying patterns in project failures and redesigning the systems that keep causing them

You'll stand out if you bring:

• A consulting background from MBB, Big 4, or respected boutique firms
• 3-5+ years running projects, programs, or leading PMO functions
• Hands-on experience driving large-scale, multi-stakeholder transformation programs
• Deep knowledge of how and when to apply Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies
• The ability to manage up, down, and sideways, communicating clearly with everyone from analysts to the C-suite

How this works:

• Step 1: Submit your application here.
• Step 2: We'll send you an invite to join the NextStep platform.
• Step 3: Fill out your profile and let our system match you with companies that align with your skills, preferences, and goals.

Please note: If your background aligns well with this position, you'll get matched with the role through our platform. If this particular opportunity isn't the perfect match, we'll keep working to connect you with similar roles across our network that fit what you're looking for.
