  • Act as the main connection point between business stakeholders, technology teams, and vendors
  • Track risks, dependencies, and decisions that may affect delivery timelines or outcomes
  • Prepare and support executive-level governance, including clear reporting on status, risks, and next steps
  • Escalate issues thoughtfully and early while maintaining strong working relationships
  • Translate decisions into actionable follow-through across all involved teams

Skills

  • 10+ years of experience leading enterprise programs with accountability for delivery outcomes
  • Proven experience managing multiple technical workstreams simultaneously
  • Strong background in scope, risk, dependency, financial, and delivery management
  • Experience leading governance discussions with VP and SVP-level stakeholders
  • Ability to manage vendors and internal teams against milestones and deliverables
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
  • Comfort working in complex, fast-moving environments with shifting priorities
  • Sound judgment and the ability to move work forward independently
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience

Preferred Skills

  • PMP, PgMP, or a similar program management certification
  • Agile, SAFe, or comparable delivery framework experience
  • Experience influencing senior leaders in highly matrixed organizations
