Hire PMO Directors who own the project-delivery function at executive level — portfolio governance, capital-planning partnership with finance, org design across PMs and controls, and the delivery standards a growing capital program scales on. Executive PMO ownership verified.
A structured, search-grade process for an executive hire — where the wrong PMO Director costs you two capital-planning cycles before anyone admits it.
30-minute call. Align on portfolio scale, executive mandate, org inherited vs. org to build, board and finance interfaces, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 PMO Directors with executive-level function ownership at comparable portfolio scale. References from prior C-suite stakeholders included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
PMO Director is an executive role wearing a governance title. The mandate is organizational: build the delivery machine, defend the numbers in the capital-planning room, and grow PM leadership. We shortlist for executive evidence, not template libraries.
Every candidate has owned the delivery or PMO function for a capital portfolio — typically $250M to multi-billion — with C-suite reporting lines and verified outcomes.
Reference-verified partnership with finance: fiscal-year capital plans, cash-flow forecasting, and portfolio prioritization executives could defend to a board.
Verified org design and talent development — PM career ladders, controls teams, and succession — confirmed by the people they promoted.
Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
Named PMO or delivery functions owned, portfolio value, and reporting line verified.
Gate performance, forecast reliability, and audit outcomes verified with prior executives.
Capital-plan authorship, variance narratives, and board-level reporting confirmed by references.
Teams built, leaders developed, and retention through program growth or turnaround.
PMP/PgMP common, MBA frequent; PE where engineering-led. Executive outcomes remain the primary credential.
Director-level base, bonus, and LTI structures aligned before finalists are introduced.
We’ll help scope the mandate on the call — portfolio scale, org inherited, and executive interfaces.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call; executive searches with confidentiality requirements may run slightly longer. Total time to placement is typically 4–6 weeks including executive interview cycles.
US base salaries typically run $170k–$230k, with large mission-critical portfolios at $210k–$260k+ plus bonus and long-term incentives. Hyperscaler-adjacent roles add equity. We confirm current bands for your market during scoping.
For most PMO Director mandates — especially confidential replacements or first-time function builds — yes. Those route through executive search. Straightforward director hires into established PMOs can run as standard per-role searches; we recommend the right model on the scoping call.
The Program Director owns delivery of a specific program. The PMO Director owns the delivery function itself — governance, standards, staffing, and capital-planning partnership across every program in the portfolio.
Yes. Every PMO Director placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Director + PMO managers + analysts builds route through embedded recruiting or RPO alongside the executive search.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the PMO Director mandate, portfolio scale, and executive interfaces — then recommend the right search model and start sourcing.
