About the Role
What You’ll Do
- Own a portfolio of complex, multi-phase, and strategic customer implementations and services engagements from initiation through formal completion and closure.
- Lead and coach a small team of Project Managers, setting expectations, reviewing project plans, and holding the team accountable to consistent delivery standards.
- Personally manage select high-value or high-complexity accounts, staying close to delivery while building the team’s ability to do the same.
- Establish consistent project-management standards, templates, and methodologies across Professional Services, covering planning, resource forecasting, effort estimation, and change control.
- Define governance for complex, multi-phase, recurring, and long-duration programs, including clear criteria for closing individual phases and full projects instead of leaving them administratively open.
- Build the risk management, dependency tracking, and executive escalation practices that keep engagements on track and stakeholders informed.
- Partner with Professional Services leadership, consultants, technical resources, Sales, and Customer Success to align delivery plans with customer commitments and business priorities.
- Serve as the executive point of contact for project status, risk, and escalation on strategic accounts, communicating directly with customer sponsors and internal leadership.
- Build feedback checkpoints at meaningful delivery milestones so customer satisfaction is measured throughout an engagement, not only at its conclusion.
- Own project health, milestone, budget, hours, and utilization reporting, using Rocketlane or a comparable PSA platform to give leadership real-time visibility into the portfolio.
- Track forecast accuracy, time-to-value, and financial performance across the portfolio, and correct course when projects drift from plan.
- Identify systemic delivery risks from portfolio data, recommend process changes, and build the playbooks, templates, and dashboards that let the PMO function scale.
What You’ll Bring
- Significant experience managing complex enterprise technology implementations or Professional Services engagements, including multiple concurrent projects or portfolios.
- Experience leading and developing Project Managers, with the ability and willingness to personally manage projects while also providing team leadership.
- Strong executive customer communication and escalation-management skills, gained working directly with customer sponsors and internal leadership on complex engagements.
- Demonstrated ability to build or mature PMO processes: templates, governance standards, reporting, and delivery methodology.
- Strong understanding of PMI-aligned project-management disciplines, including planning, risk, scope, and change management.
- Experience managing project financials — budgets, hours, forecasts, and change requests — and resource plans across a portfolio of engagements.
- Experience working across global, cross-functional organizations spanning multiple regions and time zones.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in business, information technology, or a related field.
- PMP certification strongly preferred.
- Experience with Rocketlane, Salesforce, or comparable PSA platforms preferred.
- SaaS, enterprise software, CX, CCaaS, telecommunications, testing/automation, or related technology experience preferred.
Why This Role
- You’ll bring PMO rigor to a global Professional Services organization, shaping how Cyara plans, governs, and closes customer engagements across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
- You’ll operate as both a player and a coach — owning strategic accounts directly while building the standards and capability of a growing Project Management team.
- You’ll report to the Senior Director, Professional Services, and partner closely with Professional Services leadership, Sales, and Customer Success to improve time-to-value, financial performance, and customer satisfaction across the portfolio.
