Head of Go-to-Market Project Management Office

As the Head of our Go-to-Market (GTM) Project Management Office (PMO), you will play a pivotal role in leading a dynamic team of Technical Program Managers (TPMs) and Business Program Managers (BPMs) in our Enterprise Technology org. This role reports directly to our Head of PMO, Strategy, and Operations. The Enterprise Technology team supports insights with data and the technical systems that give our teams leverage to achieve their objectives.

We are looking for a strategic visionary who will orchestrate our GTM strategies, converting them into impactful project achievements, significantly enhancing our growth and presence in the market.

Your leadership will be crucial in ensuring all projects are executed and align with and amplify our corporate strategies and goals.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner.
