We're a brand-new comms department, inside a 1,000-person scale-up operating across multiple offices and time zones.
There's structure where it matters and space to build it where it doesn't exist yet.You'll help shape how we work, not just execute what's already there.
We're in charge of crafting the company's narrative and ensuring it's clear, consistent, and visible across all our stakeholders: customers, partners, media, talent, investors, regulators, and more.We're looking for a PMO Specialist to help run, coordinate, and deliver the work that keeps our Communications function moving forward.

- Orchestrate complexity: Manage multiple parallel workstreams, ensuring tight alignment across cross-functional partners (Product, Finance, Legal, etc.) and leadership.
- Agency & Vendor Stewardship: Lead the analytical and negotiation process with agencies and vendors. You will work directly with agency owners to define scope, refine performance metrics, and ensure commercial alignment with our strategic goals.

- Strategic facilitation: Proactively manage stakeholder alignment, ensuring clear communication and progress across the organization.
Operational Excellence & Architecture
- Build and scale: Don’t just follow processes—architect them. You will identify gaps in our current operations and build scalable frameworks from scratch to improve team efficiency.
- Drive truth and transparency: Establish and enforce rigorous standards for documentation, tracking, and reporting that serve as the "single source of truth" for the department.
Commercial & Contract Rigor
