Lead Technical Program Manager

As a Lead Tech Program Delivery Manager supporting the Atlas 2.0 Upgrade Execution Program, you will govern execution against agreed program plans, milestones, and upgrade commitments established in partnership with LoB and program leadership. Ensure consistent milestone oversight, and maintain clear cross-team visibility into dependencies, risks, and upgrade delivery health. A core part of this role is Atlas 2.0 upgrade delivery orchestration and governance in partnership with LoBs, IP Client Solutions, and 3rd party contractors. 

You will compile, integrate, and maintain large datasets that underpin upgrade eligibility analysis and senior leadership reporting, ensuring data integrity and a single trusted view of progress and forecast confidence. You will translate technical status across platform and upgrade tooling readiness, integration needs, and upgrade enablement into measurable milestones, executive-ready insights, and clear escalation options that keep delivery on track

• Define and enforce upgrade execution quality controls across internal and 3rd party delivery resources, including validation checks, status reporting, auditability of updates, and stewardship practices that maintain a single trusted set of program metrics; ensure AI-assisted outputs are traceable, reviewed by accountable owners, and handled in accordance with data, privacy, security, and responsible AI requirements.

• Produce executive-ready reporting and insights derived from integrated datasets, using approved AI tools where appropriate to accelerate synthesis, scenario analysis, and narrative development while applying human review to validate accuracy, context, and conclusions; report progress versus baseline, milestone variance, trends and aging, key blockers, delivery health signals, and forecast confidence with clearly stated assumptions
