Enterprise Planning & PMO Program Manager
Qcells North America · Irvine, CA · 3 wk ago
On-siteProject ManagementFull-time
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of related projects within an assigned EnFin vertical, connecting them to a single business outcome.
- Manage scope, timeline, dependencies, and cross-project trade-offs; make delivery calls and surface decisions to leadership.
- Calibrate engagement by project — lead unowned cross-functional work, coordinate where vision is set, and provide visibility without becoming a bottleneck where ownership is clear.
- Run the weekly operating rhythm for the vertical (vertical weeklies and PMO weekly review) and deliver exec-facing readouts on a consistent monthly and quarterly beat.
- Maintain core PMO operating artifacts: decision log, risk & issue registry, stakeholder map, and capacity view.
- Drive intake and prioritization through the PMO–Tech protocol (business intake → PMO review → Jira), keeping the Program Warehouse and business roadmap current.
- Serve as the primary link between business owners, Technology/CIO teams, and external partners.
- Translate business needs into structured requirements (BRD and Business PRD) and partner with Tech on feasibility.
- Identify gaps before they become fires — step in to unblock, find the path, and pull in the right owner.
- Build reusable gate frameworks and playbooks so repeat work (product launches, payout changes, market entry, platform updates) runs consistently.
- Capture lessons from every retrospective and feed relevant ones into project kickoffs.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or a related field, with a minimum of 5+ years of professional experience including 4+ years in project or program management.
- Demonstrated experience delivering cross-functional initiatives on time and on scope, managing dependencies across multiple teams.
- Strong stakeholder management and the ability to drive alignment across business and technical partners.
- Working knowledge of project management tools and intake/ticketing workflows (e.g., Jira); comfortable translating between business requirements and technical specifications.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, structured, executive-facing updates.
- Proven ability to perform in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, manage multiple priorities, and meet critical deadlines.
