The Role:

As a Program Manager within the Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO), you will play a critical role in executing the strategic roadmap and ensuring the successful delivery of high-priority, complex, and cross-functional initiatives across the organization. You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end delivery of programs aligned with core enterprise-level objectives, ensuring projects are completed on time, within scope, and adhere to EPMO governance standards. This role requires close partnership with executive leadership on company-level initiatives, effectively translating strategic goals into actionable program work streams. Your expertise in dependency management and effectively managing and mitigating program risks, combined with your ability to provide rigorous weekly reporting and cultivate strong relationships with executive stakeholders, will be key to driving cross-functional accountability and ensuring the successful, on-pace execution of our programs.

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Program Leadership: Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of company-level strategic initiatives, ensuring alignment with company goals and customer needs

• Strategic Program Governance: Oversee a portfolio of programs, ensuring all initiatives are formally governed within the EPMO framework. Focus on business-case realization, organizational change management, and high-level enterprise resource allocation.

• Stakeholder Management: Proactively engage with internal and external stakeholders (partners, vendors, and regulatory bodies) to ensure program success and compliance

• Process Improvement: Identify opportunities for process optimization and implement best practices to enhance program efficiency and effectiveness

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Effectively partner with key internal teams to utilize data & reporting to monitor program performance once in the market and make informed decisions to drive strategic planning / prioritization. This is informed by clear, communicated success criteria and launch plans.
