Senior Manager, Project Management Office

What you’ll do

• Build the PMO from scratch — design and implement the foundational systems, templates, processes, and cadences that define how ReUp tracks and manages cross-functional project work
• Lead and develop a two-person team from day one — manage an inherited Project Manager and hire one Program Manager within the first six months
• Translate C-suite priorities into executable plans — define scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, and timelines for every major cross-functional initiative
• Drive cross-functional execution — manage projects that span multiple departments, ensuring handoffs are clear, dependencies are tracked, and blockers get resolved rather than stalled
• Create enterprise-wide visibility — develop lightweight reporting that gives department heads and the CFO a clear, current view of initiative status, risks, and upcoming dependencies
• Drive accountability — track action items and commitments from leadership forums, follow up on progress, and close the gap between what gets decided and what actually gets done
• Surface risks and capacity constraints upward — proactively flag execution risks, resource conflicts, and timeline issues to the CFO and C-suite before they become crises
• Run the PMO operating cadence — own project kick-offs, status reporting, milestone reviews, and retrospectives as standard practice across the portfolio
• Continuously improve — assess friction in planning and execution processes and build for where ReUp is going at $50M–$100M ARR, not just where it is today

Qualifications

Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often only apply to jobs if they meet all of the qualifications. However, no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. ReUp encourages you to break that statistic and to apply. We look forward to your application.

• Bachelor’s Degree or above, commensurate with experience
• 7–10 years of experience in project management, program management, operations, or a related field
• Demonstrated experience building or formalizing project management infrastructure — templates, systems, reporting cadences — in an environment that lacked them
• Track record of driving cross-functional execution in a matrixed environment where influence mattered more than authority
• Experience managing and developing PM-level talent; comfortable leading a small team while remaining hands-on with the work
• Strong facilitation skills — can align department-level stakeholders, navigate competing priorities calmly, and keep projects moving without dominating the room
• Highly organized with the ability to hold complexity across multiple simultaneous initiatives without dropping threads
• Pragmatic systems thinker who defaults to right-sized process — not comprehensive frameworks for their own sake
• Clear, concise written communicator; able to translate project complexity into crisp status updates for leadership
• Comfortable operating in a PE-backed, growth-stage environment where resources are finite and pace is high
