Director of Project Management
About the role
Director level leadership role to scale and elevate Project Management practice, delivering end-to-end client implementations, establishing governance, and building a high-performing PM organization for CaptivateIQ’s customer base.
Responsibilities
- Own Delivery Governance Across the Full Portfolio
- Build and run a risk-visibility system — dashboard, thresholds, escalation triggers — that surfaces problems before they reach leadership, not after.
- Define milestone gates for engagements at every scale, from high-touch enterprise builds to lighter-touch scale delivery, and hold the team accountable to them.
- Hire, develop, and manage a team of project managers and project coordinators; build a defined career path across levels and segments.
- Own the standards this function runs on — best practices, change management, workflow documentation — and make sure they scale from our most complex accounts down to our highest-volume ones.
- Design and build a project coordinator model to support scale delivery: milestone-based check-ins, AI-assisted monitoring, and a delivery model that can responsibly cover a high volume of concurrent projects per coordinator.
- Partner with Architecture leadership to draw a clear line between system design ownership and project accountability ownership — and hold that line as the organization scales.
- Diagnose and close the specific gaps that let complex projects run today without a single accountable owner.
- Run a recurring delivery forum reporting progress, risk, and change management status across segments.
- Report delivery health, risk, and escalation trends to CX leadership on a defined cadence.
Qualifications
- 8+ years in project or program management for software implementations, including 5+ years building or leading a PM team — not solely individual-contributor PM experience.
- Direct experience implementing enterprise SaaS within an internal delivery team or a partner organization (systems integrator, consulting firm, or implementation partner).
- Experience designing delivery models that work at more than one scale — high-touch, complex delivery and higher-volume, lighter-touch delivery.
- Demonstrated track record of building a PM function or operating system where one didn't previously exist, or was under-resourced.
- Comfortable being the accountable owner of a project's outcome without owning the technical solution — operational and stakeholder-management focus.
