Your mission is to transition the organization from a traditional, process-heavy PMO to a high-velocity Value Management Office (VMO).

This role follows a phased growth model, allowing the leader to establish credibility as a Player-Coach before scaling the organization.
Phase 1: Foundation (The Player-Coach)
<ul><li>The Focus: Personal leadership of the enterprise&rsquo;s top 2&ndash;3 strategic initiatives.
</li></ul><ul><li>The Goal: Stand up the &quot;Business of IT&quot; framework (Intake, ROI Tracking, and FinOps) and establish a &quot;Light PMO&quot; culture.
</li></ul>Phase 2: Scale (The Strategic Core)
<ul><li>The Hire: Add a Value Analyst (IT Finance/ROI) and a Delivery Orchestrator?(Agile/OCM).

<ul><li>Experience: 3+ years in IT leadership or Management Consulting. You have seen &quot;Big Tech&quot; scale but prefer the agility of a privately owned environment.
</li></ul><ul><li>The Player-Coach DNA: You are just as comfortable building a 3-year financial model in Excel as you are presenting a transformation roadmap to the Board.
</li></ul><ul><li>Modern SDLC Knowledge: You advocate for DevOps and Product-centric delivery over &quot;Waterfall&quot; status reporting.
