Senior Management Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

We're hiring a Senior Manager, PMO to build, professionalize, and scale our project management function from the ground up. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level, designing repeatable processes and templates one day, sitting in a client escalation call the next, and coaching a growing team of project managers throughout.
You will be a foundational leader as we scale 3x over the next 3-4 years, directly shaping how we deliver, implement, and retain government clients at scale. This is a player-coach role.

Team Leadership & Talent Development

• Build, hire, and lead a high-performing team of Project Managers / Implementation Managers, scaling the team and processes in line with company growth (from $50M to $150M ARR)
• Establish career pathing, performance management, coaching frameworks, and onboarding programs for PMO staff
• Foster a culture of accountability, client-centricity, and continuous improvement
• Act as a player-coach — hands-on in delivery while developing direct reports into future leaders

PMO Build-Out & Process Ownership

• Stand up the formal PMO function: governance model, methodology, and delivery playbooks appropriate for public sector implementations
• Design and implement standardized templates for project charters, implementation plans, status reporting, RAID logs, and change orders
• Define and continuously improve intake-to-close delivery workflows, ensuring consistency and scalability across a growing project portfolio
• Establish KPIs and dashboards to track project health, resource utilization, on-time/on-budget delivery, and client satisfaction

Client-Facing Delivery & Escalation Management

• Serve as a senior escalation point for at-risk or high-visibility government client implementations
• Partner directly with client stakeholders (agency leadership, CFOs, procurement) to manage expectations, timelines, and scope
• Lead executive-level status reviews and steering committee meetings for strategic accounts
• Systems, Tools & Reporting
• Influence and optimize the PMO's tool stack
• Ensure clean data flow and reporting between CSM, Support, Sales, and Delivery systems
• Own KPIs including backlog, at-risk reporting, projected go-live dates, and budgets vs. actuals

Cross-Functional & Strategic Contribution

• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to ensure smooth handoffs and alignment on client commitments
• Provide input into resourcing models and hiring plans as the company scales toward $150M ARR — looking for opportunities for continuous efficiencies
• Contribute to broader operational scalability initiatives, including pricing/packaging of services, SOW standardization, and delivery capacity planning

Critical Skills/Experience:

Experience

• 7+ years in project/program management, with 3+ years in a PMO leadership or team management capacity
• Experience in SaaS, ideally with GovTech, public sector, or highly regulated environments
• Demonstrated success building or scaling a PMO function from an early or informal stage into a structured, repeatable practice
• Track record of managing and growing a team of PMs/Implementation Managers (hiring, coaching, performance management)
• Direct experience with Salesforce, Rocketlane, ChurnZero (or comparable implementation/PS tools), and Gong (or comparable call intelligence platforms)
• Experience managing client escalations at the executive level, ideally with government or public sector clients
• Strong understanding of both Agile and traditional/Waterfall methodologies, with the judgment to apply the right approach by client and project type

Skills & Attributes

• Builder mentality — comfortable creating structure and process where none exists
• Excellent executive presence; confident leading conversations with government stakeholders and internal leadership
• Strong financial/operational acumen (utilization, margin, resourcing, forecasting)
• Calm under pressure; skilled at de-escalating tense client situations
• Data-driven, with the ability to translate metrics into action
• Passion for public sector, mission-driven work
• Excels at the player-coach role

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification
• Experience with public sector procurement cycles, RFPs, and government contracting nuances
