About the role
You’ll join a leading specialty insurance organization as it scales its Project Management Office to meet rising demand. In this individual-contributor Director role, you’ll own enterprise-wide, large, complex technology and data transformation initiatives — including target operating model design — partnering directly with business units rather than managing a team.
Responsibilities
- Lead large-scale technology and data transformation projects from initiation through delivery
- Design and implement target operating models in partnership with business unit leaders
- Partner cross-functionally across operating units to align project scope, risk, and outcomes
- Manage project budgets, timelines, and stakeholder communication at the enterprise level
- Identify and resolve risks and roadblocks before they impact delivery
- Travel to client/business sites as needed to support project execution (25–75%, project-dependent)
- Represent the PMO in executive-level project reviews and steering committees
Requirements
- Proven ownership of large-scale technology and/or data transformation projects
- Direct experience building and implementing target operating models
- PMP or Lean Six Sigma certification
- US Citizenship (no visa sponsorship available for this role)
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Insurance or financial services industry experience
- Experience partnering with business units in a matrixed, non-people-management capacity
Tools & Environment
- Enterprise PMO tooling and reporting for large transformation programs
- Cross-functional collaboration across multiple business units and geographies
Ideal Candidate Profile
You operate with autonomy, anticipate issues before they escalate, and bring structure to ambiguous, enterprise-scale problems. You’re comfortable owning outcomes without a direct reporting team, and you build trust quickly with business partners at every level.
