OUR STORY
Pointr is the market leader in Indoor Mapping, Location and Analytics, and the inventor of AI-based map production. Its innovative (20+ patents) Pointr Maps™ platform is used by millions of users across offices, retail locations, airports, hospitals, and more every month.
As the top choice of Fortune 100 customers and billions of sqft. deployed globally (30+ countries), Pointr is always on the lookout for great team members to support its fast growth. Our core values are Ownership, Harmony, and Scale, and we look for Passionate, Kind, and No-Ego team members to join the team.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We're building a Program Management Office (PMO) at Pointr and are looking for a Program Manager Excellence to lead it. This role owns the management, coaching, and performance of our Technical Project Manager (TPM) team, a distributed group based in the US and Turkey, and is responsible for building the standards, tools, and rhythms that let that team deliver consistently excellent outcomes for our global clients.
This is a hybrid people-leadership and process role: you'll manage TPMs directly, while also designing the playbooks, KPIs, and governance that turn individual project wins into a repeatable, scalable delivery function.

- Define and roll out standardized delivery methodology, templates, and playbooks across the full project lifecycle — from requirements gathering through deployment and ongoing support
- Establish and track portfolio-level KPIs (on-time delivery, customer satisfaction, resource utilization, risk exposure) across all concurrent client deployments
- Own portfolio-level visibility for leadership: consolidate project status, risks, and resourcing across the TPM team into clear, executive-ready reporting
- Drive quality evaluations of all completed implementations, including customer and end user experience evaluations.
- Serve as an escalation point for at-risk projects, partnering with TPMs and technical teams to unblock delivery issues before they impact clients
- Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering leadership on capacity planning, staffing forecasts, and cross-functional process alignment
- Standardize the toolset u
