Director, Program Management

Our client is a design-manufacture-construct firm that builds complex facilities using a factory-based, industrialized construction model. This role sits at the top of the Program Management function and owns an entire category of the company's project portfolio — full P&L, client strategy, team structure, and delivery outcomes across multiple concurrent programs. You will represent the company at the executive and industry level, stand up new programs and building types, and take direct control of programs when schedule, financial, or client-relationship stakes are highest. This is a builder-operator seat for someone who has already run large portfolios and wants ownership over an entire line of business, not oversight of a single project.Anticipated $250,000–$350,000, based on experienceFull benefits package: health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); flexible spending accounts (FSA); PTO; short- and long-term disability; and life insuranceOnsite at Birmingham, AL headquarters minimum 3 days/week (candidates in Atlanta or Nashville may be considered)Up to 25% travelOverviewOwn full P&L across all programs in the assigned category, with explicit margin accountabilityBuild, restructure, and right-size the program team to meet operational demandDevelop and hold C-suite-level client relationships and long-term, multi-year account strategyLead capital and capacity planning: production capacity allocation, hiring, and organizational investmentStand up new programs and building types; lead the operational launch of new markets or product categoriesTake direct control of programs in serious jeopardy and drive them back to healthPresent and defend program and business-case performance to executive leadership and the boardRepresent the company externally in the industry — conferences, publications, and standards bodiesChampion safety and quality culture across every programPreferred Skills / ExperienceBachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Building Science, Data Analytics, or related field; relevant Master's (MBA, Data Analytics) beneficialProfessional certification beneficial (PMP, ASHE CHC, or equivalent)Demonstrated accountability for a portfolio exceeding $100M–$150M+ in actively managed contract revenue annuallyProven full P&L ownership across multiple concurrent programs, including board/C-suite reportingTrack record building and restructuring program teamsDemonstrated C-suite client relationships — not PM-level contacts onlyExperience standing up new programs, markets, or building-type categoriesDeep command of contract strategy, claims, disputes, negotiation, and mediationExcellent communication skills and high technical/software proficiencyComplex-project experience in Healthcare, EPC, or Mission Critical (Data Center) preferredKEYWORDS: program director, program management, portfolio management, P&L, construction, modular construction, prefabrication, industrialized construction, design-build, healthcare construction, EPC, mission critical, data center, capital planning, capacity planning, preconstruction, project controls, JCR, change orders, subcontracts, claims management, client relationship management, PMP, ASHE, construction operations, general contractor, program deliveryEEO
