Job description

TAIT partners with artists, brands, IP holders and place makers to bring culture-defining, never-before-seen experiences to life. With a legacy of innovation spanning over 45 years, TAIT has grown from pioneering in rock 'n' roll concert staging to setting the global standard for extraordinary live events and experiences through cutting-edge technology, precision engineering, and creative design. TAIT's 20 global offices have developed iconic productions and experiences in over 30 countries, all seven continents, and even outer space for renowned performers, theme parks, exhibits, and venues across the globe, including partnerships with Taylor Swift, Cirque Du Soleil, Royal Opera House, Nike, NASA, Bloomberg, Google, Beyoncé, and The Olympics
Position Purpose
The Senior Director, Global Project Controls is a senior enterprise leadership role responsible for establishing, leading, and continuously improving the project controls function across the business. Working in partnership with the VPs of Projects and VPs of Project Delivery, this leader develops and governs the standards, systems, processes, and reporting frameworks that support successful project delivery across all markets and submarkets.
The Senior Director, Global Project Controls serves as an enterprise enabling partner to the VP, Projects, each of whom remains accountable for project execution, staffing strategy, stakeholder engagement, customer outcomes, and delivery performance within their market or submarket. This role provides the project controls infrastructure necessary to enhance predictability, strengthen financial performance, improve schedule reliability, and support effective portfolio oversight.
This strategic and operational executive leadership position oversees project controls, cost management, scheduling, portfolio reporting, project administration, governance, forecasting, and performance analytics. The role ensures that project teams, market leadership, capability leadership, and executive leadership have timely, accurate, and actionable insights into project performance, financial health, schedule status, key risks, opportunities, and decisions.
The Senior Director, Global Project Controls helps protect project margins, improve delivery discipline, reduce avoidable surprises, and strengthen alignment across functions and markets. Rather than serving as an after-the-fact audit function, this role enables proactive decision-making by providing the tools, processes, and visibility needed to identify issues early and take corrective action before they impact project outcomes. In doing so, the role supports the company's mission to Create Moments That Move People by enabling the delivery of innovative, safe, reliable, and financially disciplined permanent attractions for global audiences.

  • Maintain visibility into project financial performance, schedule status, risk exposure, resource constraints, and key decision requirements.
  • Drive consistency and integrity of project data across business units, regions, and delivery teams.
  • Escalate significant risks, variances, and performance issues to the appropriate stakeholders.

Cost, Schedule & Risk Management
  • Oversee enterprise cost-control and forecasting practices, including budgets, forecasts, contingencies, margin analysis, and cost-to-complete reporting.
  • Ensure projects are appropriately baselined and managed against approved scope, schedule, budget, and key assumptions.
  • Support proactive identification, assessment, and mitigation of project risks and emerging issues.
  • Improve project predictability through disciplined management of changes, assumptions, dependencies, and variances.

Lifecycle Delivery Support
  • Maintain visibility from proposal and estimating through design, engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and closeout.
  • Support delivery teams with tools, reporting, reviews, and controls that improve readiness, accountability, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Partner with cross-functional leaders to strengthen handoffs, reduce rework, improve planning quality, and increase operational efficiency.
  • Capture and institutionalize lessons learned to improve future project performance and organizational effectiveness.

Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Partner with Finance, Commercial, Legal, Operations, Production, Creative, Technical, Engineering, Procurement, and Field teams to align controls practices with business and operational needs.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership on project performance, portfolio health, risk exposure, and improvement opportunities.
  • Foster broad adoption of project controls practices through collaboration, coaching, communication, and change leadership.

People Leadership
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the Project Controls organization, including planners, schedulers, cost controllers, project administrators, analysts, and related support functions.
  • Establish clear expectations, career development pathways, and service standards for the team.
  • Build a culture focused on transparency, accountability, continuous improvement, and partnership with project delivery teams.
  • Develop project controls capabilities across the broader organization through training, coaching, and best-practice sharing.
  • Model a leadership approach that balances enterprise discipline with respect for TAIT's creative, technical, and craft-based culture.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 15+ years leading large-scale permanent installation, theme park, entertainment, construction, engineering, or complex project delivery portfolios.
  • Demonstrated success managing large-scale project portfolios with responsibility for forecasting, cost management, governance, reporting, and risk management.
  • Strong understanding of project controls disciplines, including scheduling, forecasting, earned value concepts, cost control, change management, and portfolio reporting.
  • Proven ability to develop and implement scalable controls frameworks within complex, matrixed, and fast-paced environments.
  • Strong financial acumen, including portfolio forecasting, margin management, contingency planning, and commercial risk assessment.
  • Exceptional communication, executive presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional leaders and drive organizational change without direct authority
