The Director of Program Management Office (PMO) will establish and lead a centralized PMO function to drive execution of strategic initiatives across the organization. This role is critical to aligning cross-functional priorities, ensuring disciplined execution, and delivering measurable outcomes tied to the company's growth and operational improvement agenda.

  • Track and report on program milestones, risks, and KPIs to leadership and board stakeholders

Operational Excellence
  • Identify opportunities to improve execution speed, accountability, and cross-functional coordination
  • Implement performance management systems to ensure initiatives deliver expected outcomes
  • Drive continuous improvement in processes, tools, and organizational effectiveness

Stakeholder Management
  • Serve as a key liaison between executive leadership, functional teams, and private equity sponsors
  • Facilitate executive-level updates, including board-ready reporting materials
  • Build strong relationships across departments to ensure alignment and accountability

Team Development
  • Recruit, develop, and mentor a high-performing PMO team as the company scales
  • Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and results-driven execution

Key Qualifications
Experience
  • 8-12+ years of experience in program management, operations, consulting, or related roles
  • Proven experience in a private equity-backed, high-growth, or startup environment
  • Demonstrated success leading cross-functional strategic initiatives with measurable impact
  • Experience building or scaling a PMO function preferred
  • Background in consulting (e.g., strategy or operations) is a plus

Skills & Competencies
  • Strong program and project management expertise (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid methodologies)
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Executive-level communication and presentation skills
  • Ability to operate both strategically and tactically in a fast-paced environment
  • High level of ownership, accountability, and bias for action

Key Success Metrics
  • On-time, on-budget delivery of customer projects and strategic internal initiatives
  • Achievement of value creation targets (e.g., revenue growth, EBITDA improvement)
  • Improved organizational alignment and execution velocity
  • Stakeholder satisfaction, including executive team and investors

Why Ascend?
  • Opportunity to shape and lead a critical function in a purpose-driven, high-growth environment
  • Direct exposure to executive leadership and private equity sponsors
  • Meaningful impact on company strategy, operations, and long-term value creation
  • Competitive compensation and benefits

We offer a competitive salary range of $175,000-$205,000, plus the opportunity to earn an annual discretionary bonus of up to 10%. Compensation is flexible and will be tailored to your experience and background.
At Ascend, we believe great talent deserves great rewards-and we're proud to offer compensation that is often above the industry average.
But the perks don't stop there. We're committed to creating a workplace where people can do meaningful work, grow their careers, and still have a life outside the office. You'll enjoy flexible work hours, a collaborative environment, and real opportunities for advancement.

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • Life, Short- and Long-term disability insurance
  • Parental leave
  • FSA and Health Savings Account options and dependent care
  • 401(k) with a 3% non-elective company contribution (yes-we contribute even if you don't!)
  • Flexible paid time off so you can recharge when you need it

Join a team that values your work, supports your growth, and invests in your future!
