Our core values are Ownership, Harmony, and Scale, and we look for Passionate, Kind, and No-Ego team members to join the team.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We're building a Program Management Office (PMO) at Pointr and are looking for a Program Manager Excellence to lead it. This role owns the management, coaching, and performance of our Technical Project Manager (TPM) team, a distributed group based in the US and Turkey, and is responsible for building the standards, tools, and rhythms that let that team deliver consistently excellent outcomes for our global clients.
This is a hybrid people-leadership and process role: you'll manage TPMs directly, while also designing the playbooks, KPIs, and governance that turn individual project wins into a repeatable, scalable delivery function. You'll work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Delivery, and Engineering leadership to make sure delivery capacity, quality, and client experience scale with the business.
You're a strong fit if you've led distributed technical project teams servicing enterprise customers before, are energized by building process from scratch, and know how to balance hands-on coaching with executive-level reporting — all while working across US and Turkey time zones.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and lead Pointr's Program Management Office (PMO), setting the vision, structure, and operating rhythm for the TPM function
- Directly manage a team of Technical Project Managers based in the US and Turkey, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management
- Define and roll out standardized delivery methodology, templates, and playbooks across the full project lifecycle — from requirements gathering through deployment and ongoing support
- Establish and track portfolio-level KPIs (on-time delivery, customer satisfaction, resource utilization, risk exposure) across all concurrent client deployments
- Own portfolio-level visibility for leadership: consolidate project status, risks, and resourcing across the TPM team into clear, executive-ready reporting
- Drive quality evaluations of all completed implementations, including customer and end user experience evaluations.
- Serve as an escalation point for at-risk projects, partnering with TPMs and technical teams to unblock delivery issues before they impact clients
- Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering leadership on capacity planning, staffing forecasts, and cross-functional process alignment
- Standardize the toolset used for project tracking and reporting (e.g., Jira, Smartsheet) and drive consistent adoption across the team
- Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and knowledge-sharing across a geographically distributed team, with a focus on increasing quality and reducing time to implementation.
- Stay close to Pointr's product and technology so the PMO's standards reflect real deployment realities, and feed field learnings back into the product roadmap
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- First 90 days: you've met every TPM and key stakeholder, mapped the current project portfolio and delivery pain points, and have a clear point of view on where the PMO should focus first.
- 6 months: a standardized delivery playbook and reporting cadence are in place, KPIs are being tracked consistently across both regions, and the TPM team feels supported and aligned around shared standards.
- 12 months: the PMO is a trusted, visible function — delivery performance is consistent and predictable across the US and Turkey, leadership has…
