IT PMO Lead

Director, IT PMO & Project Delivery Location: Remote (U.S.) | Regular travel required Reports To: Vice President, IT About the Company A rapidly growing energy services company operating across North America, expanding through an active acquisition strategy. With nearly 20 locations and close to 700 employees, the organization is scaling quickly and investing heavily in the systems, data infrastructure, and integrations needed to support that growth. The IT function is at the center of that work. About the Role This is a builder role. The organization is running a high-volume portfolio of complex IT initiatives — ERP migrations, CRM consolidation, M&A integrations, and major data projects — and needs someone to bring structure, methodology, and visibility to that environment. The Director of IT PMO & Project Delivery will own the active project portfolio while simultaneously establishing the PMO framework the organization needs to scale. This person will define how projects are intake'd, scoped, structured, tracked, and closed. They will build the reporting infrastructure that gives leadership a clear view of portfolio health. And they will hold internal stakeholders and external partners accountable to delivery standards — without always having direct authority to do so. This is not a role for someone who steps into a mature PMO. It's for someone who has built one.
