Summary:

The ASPCA was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law. With a 150-year legacy and programs across the country, effective cross-functional management is critical to ensure ASPCA staff have effective solutions to improve the lives of animals. The Senior Project Manager, Project Management Office will work with a team of innovators to provide structure and organization to projects, keep meetings productive and engaging, and partner across the organization to bring these projects in on-time and within budget, honoring our core value of TEAM.

This role will report directly to the Senior Director, Portfolio Management in the Project Management Office (PMO). The PMO was founded in late 2021 to provide centralized strategic management and oversight of the ASPCA’s project portfolio, implement project portfolio management, and elevate project management best practices and methodologies to enable the successful execution of the organization's priorities. The Office is an integral member of the Finance, Real Estate, Facilities & PMO (FRFP) department and this role has the unique opportunity to partner with colleagues across the entire organization and serve as a critical linkage between major projects, so that we continue to maximize our impact on animal’s lives while optimizing internal resources.

The Director provides strategic coordination and tracking of large-scale projects that are integral to various ASPCA initiatives, including (but not limited to): implementation of new technology; process improvement; launch of new programming; new SOP’s and change management; and various other projects. The ideal candidate will be extremely organized, detail-oriented, and have excellent communication skills to collaborate with team members and project leads. Facilitation and presentation skills to lead key meetings and coach teams for success are key attributes for this position.

Sharp critical thinking and problem-solving skills are a must! The right person for this job understands the big picture of what teams are trying to achieve and can also connect the dots between our strategy and daily work. Ownership of projects is essential, along with the ability to reimagine what is possible, pivot when needed, work as a team, and bring a solutions-oriented approach to challenges and obstacles. We’re looking for someone who is creative, compassionate and who can focus on what matters most.
