Own project budgets and collaborate closely with finance to monitor costs, margins, profitability, and overall financial performance. Lead resource and capacity planning across concurrent projects and teams, identifying staffing gaps, competing priorities, and delivery bottlenecks before they become risks. Partner with proposal teams to develop accurate project plans, cost estimates, timelines, and resource requirements aligned with client expectations and internal capacity. Facilitate collaboration between departments, ensuring effective handoffs, clear ownership, strong communication, and alignment around project objectives. Establish clear project reporting and proactively communicate progress, risks, dependencies, budget considerations, and required decisions to stakeholders.

Demonstrated experience building, redesigning, or implementing project management systems and processes rather than simply operating within established frameworks. Strong financial acumen, including experience analyzing project budgets, margins, costs, and profitability in partnership with finance or operations teams. Proven experience managing resources and capacity across multiple simultaneous projects, teams, and client engagements. Strong strategic and operational judgment, with a clear perspective on effective project management practices and the confidence to advocate for improvements.

Experience serving higher education, nonprofit, or healthcare clients is a plus. Experience formally training teams in project management methodologies is a plus. Experience presenting financial or project performance information directly to senior leadership is a plus. Background combining project management with agency finance, operations, or business management is an advantage. Benefits: Fully remote work environment.
