Location : San Francisco, CA

About the Role

We are seeking a Head of Project Management to lead a fast-paced, high-volume project delivery operation in the San Francisco market. This role oversees a diverse portfolio of short-duration commercial projects while driving operational performance, team development, and business growth. The ideal candidate brings strong general contractor experience, excellent client-facing communication, and proven leadership across multiple simultaneous projects.

What You'll Do

Portfolio & Delivery Leadership

  • Lead a high-volume portfolio of short-duration, quick-turn commercial projects.
  • Manage and mentor project managers at all levels, ensuring quality, consistency, and throughput.
  • Provide hands-on guidance in scoping, estimating, bid leveling, contracting, and field execution.
  • Implement repeatable processes and reporting standards across all active projects.

Operational & Financial Management

  • Run the PM function as a business unit with accountability for utilization, forecasting, fee-versus-hours, and margin performance.
  • Maintain tight controls on project budgets, billing cadence, and financial reporting.
  • Balance workloads across the team and maintain a strong operating rhythm.

    • Business Development & Client Strategy

  • Build and grow the regional project pipeline through client relationships and preference shaping.
  • Lead proposal writing, scope narratives, and competitive bid responses.
  • Communicate complex scopes and strategies in a clear, persuasive manner to guide client decisions.

    • Leadership & Communication

  • Present confidently to senior stakeholders and clients with strong executive presence.
  • Drive consistency, accountability, and disciplined execution across the PM team.
  • Foster a culture of agility, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.

    • What We're Looking For

    Experience

  • 8–12 years in project delivery, including 5+ years in a leadership role.
  • Strong history managing high-volume, short-duration commercial project portfolios.
  • Background in commercial interiors, corporate facilities, or capital upgrade projects.
  • General contractor experience strongly preferred (scoping, bid leveling, subcontractor negotiations).

    • Skills & Attributes

  • Proven ability to run a PM operation with full accountability for financial and operational metrics.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially for client narratives and proposals.
  • Ability to work in a fast-moving environment with multiple simultaneous deliverables.
  • High commercial acumen and sound judgment.
  • Comfortable providing hands-on support to PMs when needed.

    • Why This Role Matters

    This leader will shape the local market strategy, grow the project pipeline, and ensure high-quality delivery across a fast-cycle project portfolio—while developing a strong, capable team.
