Senior Manager, Enterprise PMO

Charlottesville, VA | Hybrid (minimum 2 days per week in office)

Have you taken full ownership of complex enterprise programmes in a matrixed organisation?  Do you bring experience delivering strategic business and technology transformation initiatives?  Are you ready to lead from structure to execution within a global enterprise environment?

CFA Institute is seeking a Senior Manager to join our Enterprise PMO. This is not a reporting-focused project manager role. It is an opportunity to lead and deliver complex, enterprise-level strategic initiatives aligned to our 2030 ambitions.

You will act as a strategic partner to business, finance and technology leaders, driving programme delivery across global, cross-functional teams while establishing clear governance, structure and accountability.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end delivery of a complex enterprise strategic initiative, from structuring and governance through to execution and close

• Define programme frameworks, milestones, operating models and governance structures

• Partner with senior stakeholders across finance, technology and business functions to align goals, priorities and delivery plans

• Drive portfolio and programme-level process enhancements, tools and enabling technologies

• Develop frameworks and proof of concepts to optimise financial and project management capabilities

• Proactively manage risks, issues, dependencies and decision pathways

• Ensure compliance with ePMO standards, controls and documentation practices

• Collaborate across US and UK teams, building strong cross-border relationships

• Contribute to strengthening and maturing Enterprise PMO capability

What We’re Looking For

• 8 to 12+ years’ experience leading complex, enterprise-scale strategic initiatives within global, matrixed organisations

• Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional programme teams and senior stakeholders without formal line authority

• Demonstrated ownership of programme structure, governance and delivery outcomes

• Experience spanning business and technology transformation initiatives

• Strong portfolio governance and financial oversight experience, including project controls and KPI management

• Experience delivering across waterfall, Agile and hybrid methodologies; PMP, PMI-ACP or PRINCE2 certification preferred

• Exceptional presentation and facilitation skills, with experience engaging executive stakeholders

• Proficiency with enterprise tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Workday, NetSuite or similar platforms

• Background in large corporates, consulting, financial services, education or other enterprise transformation environments is advantageous

Why Join Us

• Lead high-visibility strategic initiatives aligned to CFA Institute 2030

• Work within a globally respected organisation with a strong mission and purpose

• Collaborate internationally across US and UK teams

• Shape and enhance Enterprise PMO capability while advancing your own leadership exposure
