Manager Project Management Jobs in Snohomish, WA

About the Role

The Sr. Manager, PMO is a working management role embedded within Precor's Commercial Business Unit. This person is in the work-executing, driving outcomes, and helping the organization turn priorities into action. They sit on the program intake committee, establish governance standards, mentor a team of program managers, and personally drive high-priority strategic programs from start to finish.

This role has broad visibility across the Commercial Business Unit and works closely with leaders across Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, CX, Product, and the executive team. You will help shape how the organization prioritizes and executes its most important initiatives, bringing structure to complex work, connecting the dots across functions, and ensuring decisions translate into measurable outcomes.

As a secondary function, this role provides direct operational support to the organization: tracking priorities, closing open items, and keeping the business operating rhythm running with discipline across functions. This includes creating visibility into what is happening, what is at risk, where decisions are needed, and what needs to move forward.

This is not a traditional PMO oversight role. This is a role for someone who builds the system and works inside it every day and can establish the structure and standards needed to scale execution while also getting into the details when the work requires it. The right person brings strong judgment, urgency, and follow-through, and knows when to create structure, when to solve directly, and when to escalate.

Responsibilities

PMO Governance & Standards 

• Serve as a standing member of the program intake committee; evaluate incoming requests against business priorities, capacity, and sequencing before committing resources
• Own the integrated master program calendar across all active CBU initiatives; ensure every program has a defined owner, milestone set, and decision structure
• Build and maintain a single source of truth for all program plans, decision logs, RAID logs, and status reporting
• Design and embed standard program templates, playbooks, and governance frameworks across the CBU; reduce reliance on tribal knowledge and one-off approaches
• Drive weekly and monthly program status reviews; surface blockers, decisions, and risks with enough lead time to act before they escalate
• Maintain transparency into portfolio health through dashboards, scorecards, and executive-ready status communications 

Hands-On Program Delivery 

• Personally lead a portfolio of high-priority strategic programs from initiation through close working on building the plan, running the workstreams, managing dependencies, and owning the outcome
• Roll up your sleeves and get into the details when programs need it. 
• Partner directly with functional leaders across Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, CX, and Product to align on scope, sequencing, and interdependencies, then hold those alignments.
• Translate executive direction into structured workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes; track execution against the plan and intervene early when it drifts
• Manage program-level dependencies, escalation paths, and change control; keep stakeholders informed without creating noise. 

Team Development 

• Mentor and develop a team of program managers within the CBU; build their technical skills, business judgment, and ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment.
• Review program plans and approaches with PMs before they go to stakeholders; sharpen the work before it surfaces.
• Model the execution standard you expect: structured plans, clear communication, proactive risk management, and full ownership of outcomes.
• Identify capability gaps across the PM team and drive targeted development plans; developing the team you need to effectively drive business outcomes.  

Operating Rhythm & Accountability 

• Track commitments, actions, and decisions from key business meetings (MBRs, QBRs, staff reviews, cross-functional syncs); ensure follow-through without requiring leadership involvement in routine follow-up.
• Close open items with functional owners before they require escalation; bring solutions, not status updates.
• Maintain a live view of the leadership team's active initiatives, cross-functional dependencies, and priority risks; flag issues before they land unannounced.
• Prepare operational materials for the leadership team and COO: initiative trackers, performance dashboards, and status summaries.
• Identify operational gaps, coordination failures, and process bottlenecks across CBU functions; bring forward recommendations, not just findings.
• Facilitate working sessions across functions to resolve cross-functional friction; document outputs and hold owners accountable to agreed actions. 

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Program Management experience, including personally leading complex cross-functional programs in a matrixed commercial or operations environment.
• Demonstrated experience building or improving a PMO function; governance models, intake processes, standard methodologies, templates, and reporting cadences.
• Track record of mentoring and developing program managers; you raise the team around you.
• Proven ability to operate across Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and CX - connecting the dots others miss and holding people accountable across functional lines.
• Strong execution instincts - you get into the details when necessary, you do not wait for problems to surface, and you do not pass incomplete work up the chain.
• Comfortable operating at the intersection of executive priorities and day-to-day operational realities; knows when to escalate and when to solve.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; can translate complex program status into clear, concise executive-ready language without losing substance.
• High tolerance for ambiguity and fast-moving priorities; brings structure and calm to dynamic environments without slowing them down
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program management certification preferred; not required if experience speaks for itself
• Familiarity with ERP environments (SAP preferred), project management tools (Smartsheet, Asana, Jira), and BI reporting tools 

What success looks like in the role

• The PMO is a known, trusted function; leaders use it because it adds value, not because they are required to.
• Strategic programs are delivered on time, with clear ownership, measurable outcomes, and minimal escalation.
• Program managers are visibly growing with clear development, better plans, sharper communication, and stronger follow-through.
• The COO and leadership has clear visibility into what is happening, what is at risk, and what needs a decision proactively. 
• Cross-functional teams feel coordinated and supported; this role earns influence through competence and follow-through, not title.
