What We Need
CORPAY is currently looking to hire a Director of Project Management within our Risk Management division. This position falls under our North American Fuel line of business and is located in the Atlanta, GA office. In this role, you will own the operating model for intake, prioritization, and execution governance across SMB Risk initiatives & cross-functional projects. This role sits at the intersection of Risk Strategy, Risk Operations, BRMS, Product, and Technology. The PMO Lead ensures the right work is prioritized, properly defined, and delivered with discipline. This is not a traditional project management role. It requires strong process thinking, comfort with technical discussions, and the ability to translate ambiguity into structured execution. The role combines governance, hands‑on delivery oversight, operational problem solving, and continuous improvement leadership. You will report directly to the SVP of Risk Management and regularly collaborate with your team and other departments.

- Drive adoption and post‑implementation validation to ensure benefits are realized
