Director, PMO

Description

Collision Partners Group (“CP”) is building a premier, quality-first collision-repair platform by partnering with best-in-class independent operators who share an uncompromising commitment to safety, craftsmanship, and people. We operate under a “Local at Scale” philosophy: preserving the legacy, reputation, and culture of exceptional local businesses while providing the standards, infrastructure, and support required to deliver consistently excellent repairs. At CP, quality is not a differentiator – it is the requirement.

Successful team members at Collision Partners are owner-minded, disciplined, and accountable, with high standards for quality and preparation. We value clear communication, low-ego collaboration, and doing things the right way – even when it’s harder.

Company Mission

CP’s mission is to deliver the industry’s safest, highest-quality repairs by following OEM procedures without compromise. We will be the industry’s most desired employer and the most trusted collision-repair partner to customers, OEMs, and dealerships.

Position Summary

We’re seeking a Director, PMO to build the project-management, business-transformation, and management-reporting capabilities that will help Collision Partners scale effectively. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can operate as both a strategic partner and a hands‑on executor, translating priorities into clear plans, accountable owners, measurable outcomes, and sustained execution.

A significant early responsibility will be establishing and leading Collision Partners’ Integration PMO. Working closely with the Operational Integration Leader and functional workstream owners, the Director will maintain the consolidated integration roadmap, track milestones, budgets, dependencies, risks, decisions, synergies, and exit readiness, provide executive-level reporting, and ensure issues are surfaced and resolved before they jeopardize integration outcomes.

Beyond acquisitions, the Director will support enterprise-wide initiatives across Operations, Finance, Human Resources, Recruiting, Technology, Business Development, and other functions. The role will help structure complex problems, drive cross‑functional execution, improve accountability, and ensure important initiatives are fully implemented and sustained.

The Director will also help strengthen Collision Partners’ business intelligence and management‑reporting capabilities by defining KPIs, improving dashboards and reporting, structuring analytical questions, and helping leadership gather and translate data into actionable decisions.

Said simply, the mission of this role is to drive the successful execution of Collision Partners’ most important cross‑functional initiatives while building the systems, accountability, and analytical discipline needed to scale. Success means turning priorities into measurable business outcomes, keeping critical projects on track, surfacing and resolving risks early, and improving how the organization executes over time.

Location: Raleigh desired, but open to remote candidate

Benefits include 401(k) with matching, health/dental/vision/life insurance, LTD, STD, paid time off, and seven paid holidays
