Director, Integration Program Management Office (PMO) Project Lead – San Francisco, Chicago, New York (Hybrid)

 

We are seeking an experienced Integration Program Lead to join our Consulting practice in a full-time role with one of JLL's premier financial services clients. Our Consulting practice combines forward-thinking strategy development, practical implementation, and structured program management. As a result, we deliver creative, cost-effective, streamlined solutions that not only look good on paper, but work in practice — helping our clients achieve lasting competitive advantage.

 

In this role, you will primarily serve as a Program Management Office (PMO) Project Lead supporting campus transformation initiatives in the San Francisco market. As part of a Global Integration Program Team, you will also support broader transformation initiatives focused on end-to-end organizational process improvements, integrated governance frameworks, and additional PMO efforts across regional implementation teams and construction and consolidation projects.

 

The Director will be responsible for managing individual projects and workstreams within the Integration Program framework, with oversight and support from the Global Integration Program Lead. While the bulk of responsibilities will be leading the PMO effort for the San Francisco market, additional accountabilities may include leading regional integration forums, owning updates to the regional councils, and acting as the point person to develop regional process improvement report-outs for key leaders and stakeholders (among other things). The ability to be self-sufficient, accountable, responsive, and comfortable with direct client interactions will be paramount to success in this role, as well as knowing when to pull in the Integration Team Lead for support.

• Onboard all cross-functional team members and leaders and evolve the program to ensure sustained active participation and engagement
• Design and lead large interactive workshops to encourage collaboration and enable joint objectives and priorities across cross-functional participants
• Oversee and advise on major real estate and workplace consolidation activities from strategy through planning, construction, and implementation
• Work with the Program Core Team and workstreams to assemble consolidated roadmaps, operational plans, risk trackers, action plans, and reporting templates (in alignment with Global Integration Program guidance)
• Manage program interdependencies, risks, and issues, and other escalations across multiple concurrent workstreams and initiatives
• Act as a trusted advisor to program sponsors and functional leads, providing strategic guidance on operational and strategic challenges and helping them navigate complex conversations and decisions
• Support program teams in translating business operational requirements into planning and programming requirements
• Develop and monitor program performance metrics, KPIs, and dashboards to track program health
• Compile and analyze program lessons learned, improvement opportunities, and stakeholder feedback to identify strategic recommendations
• As part of the Global Integration Program Team, actively participate in team meetings and support regional program integration, process improvements, and other PMO projects as needed

 

Key Competencies

 

• Executive presence: Strong communication skills, with the ability to proactively identify opportunities to engage stakeholders and to command respect, influence, and build credibility with lines of business, program sponsors, and senior stakeholders
