About the role

As the Director, Global PMO, you will lead the Global PMO within Operational Excellence and Transformation, elevating Crunchyroll's execution discipline by providing a consistent approach to planning, governing, and delivering complex cross-functional programs. You will lead the PMO as both a center of excellence and an execution team - establishing common standards, tools, governance, and reporting while directly providing program leadership for Crunchyroll’s highest-priority initiatives where dedicated PM capability is required.

You will be an execution leader and a capability builder: able to turn ambiguous priorities into integrated plans, create clarity across functions and regions, surface risks and decisions early, and drive teams to measurable outcomes. While your role may not own the underlying business strategy or functional execution, it provides the program structure, governance, leadership, and accountability required to deliver complex initiatives predictably and strengthen project management capability across Crunchyroll.

Core Areas of Responsibility

• Global PMO Leadership & Operating Model : Lead the day-to-day Global PMO as a COE + Execution team; translate enterprise and OXT priorities into a focused PMO portfolio; establish operating cadences, performance expectations, and resource-allocation principles; and build a high-performing team capable of leading complex work across the organization.
• Complex Program Leadership : Lead or oversee high-priority cross-functional programs such as territory launches, pricing changes, operating-model changes, and other strategic initiatives; build integrated plans across workstreams, owners, milestones, dependencies, and outcomes; and maintain momentum from mobilization through implementation and handoff.
• Governance, Risk & Decision Management : Establish fit-for-purpose governance forums, RAID management, decision pathways, escalation mechanisms, and executive-sponsor engagement; ensure risks, dependencies, and blockers are surfaced early, owners are clear, decisions are made at the right level, and commitments are followed through.
• Portfolio Visibility & Executive Reporting : Maintain a transparent, fact-based view of the PMO portfolio covering priorities, progress, readiness, milestones, risks, dependencies, decisions, capacity constraints, and expected benefits; synthesize complex information into concise executive reporting and actionable recommendations for the Senior Direct
