Requirements

  • At least 8–10 years of progressive program management, PMO leadership, and digital product or commerce delivery experience, ideally within a premier digital consultancy, interactive agency, or high-growth direct-to-consumer product company.
  • A demonstrated track record of delivering direct-to-consumer digital commerce platforms, with deep familiarity with user qualification and intake journeys, transaction flows, and backend platform integrations.
  • Strong digital product ownership skills, including site hierarchy and architecture, journey mapping, backlog grooming, and requirements gathering.
  • Expertise in Agile delivery methodologies and frameworks, including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, with experience facilitating large-scale Program Increment planning and multi-team dependency mapping.
  • Advanced proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Monday.com, Figma, and Smartsheet.
  • Client-facing leadership and executive communication skills, including structuring presentation decks, leading governance workshops, and managing executive stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, inspire, and mentor a program delivery pod while coordinating cross-functional teams across experience strategy, UX/UI, technical architecture, engineering, and partner agencies.
  • Establish the engagement’s operational readiness framework by mapping end-to-end processes, cross-functional stakeholders, workflows, RACI models, ways of working, and team governance.
  • Own program-level RAID logs, dependency management, milestone tracking, and cross-workstream coordination across Agile release trains.
  • Champion the customer experience strategy from concept through activation, translating consumer journeys—including education, qualification and intake, transaction mechanics, and fulfillment touchpoints—into technical user stories, backlog priorities, and site architecture.
  • Lead and facilitate Agile ceremonies, cross-team sprint cadences, and Program Increment planning across technology, design, and commercial workstreams.
  • Use Jira, Confluence, Monday.com, and Figma to maintain delivery visibility, transparent communications, and velocity.
  • Manage workstream scope, deliverables, and resource allocation across an enterprise-level multi-million-dollar program budget.
  • Partner with account and finance leads to monitor staffing plans, utilization, burn rates, and statement of work compliance, and proactively mitigate delivery risks.

Desired Qualifications

  • Healthcare, life sciences, telehealth, or digital pharmacy experience is a plus but is not required.
