Job description

Why We Stand Out

Seeking a career-defining opportunity where your leadership, strategic vision, and client expertise are recognized and rewarded? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you.

As one of the top accounting firms in the country, our foundation is “people first.” In the words of James Kaufman, “we prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being. Our values are translated into action every day.”

Kaufman Rossin is a privately owned, independent public accounting firm, which means we are not beholden to outside investors or private equity influence. This independence allows us to prioritize long-term client relationships, maintain objectivity in our advisory approach, and make strategic decisions that benefit our people and clients, not external stakeholders. Our structure foster agility, entrepreneurial thinking, and a collaborative culture where leadership is accessible, and innovation is encouraged.

Celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida over a dozen times, Kaufman Rossin has grown to over 700 employees, with offices spanning the tri-county area, including sister entities Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.

How You'll Contribute

Kaufman Rossin is seeking a PMO Lead to join our growing Information Technology team. SAFe-fluent senior program leader establishing and operating KR's technology PMO: coordinating value streams, managing the portfolio Kanban, facilitating PI planning, driving lean business cases, and owning the intake mechanism for business demand. Partners with CIO, VP Platform Engineering, and all workstream leads. Brings structure without bureaucracy, equally comfortable running a PI planning event and building an executive dashboard.

Portfolio Management & Value Stream Coordination

• Manage portfolio Kanban: live view of all epics, features, and initiatives sequenced against capacity
• Coordinate value streams: aligning portfolio execution with KR's strategic business goals
• Manage lean business cases: intake through hypothesis, MVP definition, and investment approval
• Own rolling 12-month IT program roadmap like deliverables, dependencies, sequencing, resources

Business Intake & Demand Management

• Design and operate KR's technology intake mechanism: tructured triage, scoring, and portfolio prioritization
• Facilitate intake reviews with VP Platform Engineering and practice leads
• Track and report demand vs. capacity trends: identify recurring pressure points proactively

PI Planning & Agile Release Train Support

• Support and facilitate ART ceremonies: PI planning events, system demos, Inspect & Adapt workshops

Governance, Reporting & Stakeholder Updates

• Maintain consolidated program dashboard: status, milestones, risks, budget, resources

• Facilitate quarterly business reviews (QBRs) for the technology transformation program
• Own the program-level risk register: probability/impact, owners, mitigations to closure

Lean-Agile Coaching & Continuous Improvement

• Coach leaders, product managers, and Scrum Masters on Lean-Agile mindset and SAFe principles
• Drive continuous improvement using Lean metrics — flow, time-to-market, value delivered
• Standardize agile reporting dashboards that inform decisions without micromanaging teams

How You'll Stand Out

• 5+ years in PMO, Agile Program Management, or Value Stream role within scaled agile environment
• SAFe certification: SPC, SAFe Program Consultant, or SAFe LPM — mandatory for this role
• Demonstrated PI planning facilitation and ART management experience
• Proficiency in Jira, Jira Align, Azure DevOps, or Confluence for portfolio tracking
• Strong budget management, financial forecasting, and executive reporting skills
