PMO Project Manager (Data Center Construction) at Galaxy in Dallas, Texas

Job description

• The Project Management Office (PMO) Project Manager (Data Center Construction) is the PMO's embedded project management partner to the Pre-Construction and Construction functions. This is not a traditional construction PM role responsible for replacing the technical ownership of the Pre-Construction or Construction teams.
• Department leaders and subject matter experts retain ownership and accountability for their work. Instead, the PM provides the cross-functional coordination, structure, visibility, and accountability required to move complex initiatives forward across departmental boundaries.
• Pre-construction and construction activities inherently depend on multiple teams - including Site Development, Operations, Technology, EHS, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and external partners.
• The PM ensures those dependencies are identified early, responsibilities are clear, decisions occur at the appropriate time, and work across departments remains aligned to broader project and business priorities.
• The role gives department leadership a partner who can take complex initiatives and create the structure required to execute them effectively while allowing technical leaders to remain focused on their areas of expertise.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Pre-Construction and Construction leadership to understand priorities, upcoming work, constraints, and cross-functional needs.
• Translate complex initiatives into clearly defined workstreams, tasks, milestones, owners, dependencies, and decision points.
• Establish and maintain visibility into current and upcoming work through the PMO project management systems and reporting processes.
• Identify dependencies between Pre-Construction / Construction and Site Development, Operations, Technology, EHS, Procurement, Finance, Legal, and other functions.
• Facilitate the cross-functional meetings required to move work forward, with clear objectives, ownership, decisions, action items, and follow-through.
• Connect department heads and functional stakeholders when work has broader organizational impacts or requires decisions across teams.
• Identify risks, stalled work, unclear ownership, resource constraints, or competing priorities and drive the appropriate conversations toward resolution.
• Escalate material risks and decisions to department leadership, the Head of PMO, or business leadership when appropriate.
• Partner with department leadership on prioritization and sequencing when multiple initiatives compete for resources or have interdependent timelines.
• Support capacity and resourcing discussions by providing visibility into upcoming work, workload, dependencies, and potential constraints.
• Ensure required Procurement, Finance, Legal, and other support-function processes are incorporated into project plans and initiated at the appropriate time.
• Improve communication between Pre-Construction / Construction and other departments by ensuring relevant information reaches the appropriate stakeholders and other embedded PMO PMs.
• Provide objective facilitation when priorities, ownership, timelines, or expectations conflict across departments.
• Track execution against agreed business priorities and provide leadership with clear visibility into progress, risks, decisions, and blockers.
• Partner with the Head of PMO and other embedded PMO PMs to consistently apply PMO standards, tools, processes, and reporting practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in project management, program management, construction, infrastructure, engineering, development, or a related environment.
• Experience coordinating complex initiatives involving multiple departments, technical teams, and business stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of pre-construction and construction processes sufficient to understand dependencies, sequencing, terminology, and business impacts.
• Strong ability to take ambiguous or complex initiatives and create structured execution plans.
• Demonstrated ability to facilitate cross-functional teams and create accountability without direct authority.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills and ability to communicate effectively with technical teams, functional leaders, and executives.
• Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to identify organizational gaps, dependencies, and risks before they affect execution.
• Experience with project/work management platforms such as Jira and related collaboration and documentation tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication and executive reporting skills.
• PMP or equivalent certification preferred.
