Requirements
- 8+ years leading enterprise-level, cross-functional programs, with a track record of independently driving large, ambiguous initiatives to successful outcomes within a fast-paced environment.
- Proven ability to lead through influence, not authority – building trust and accountability with senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and globally diverse team members you don't formally manage.
- Mastery in executive communication, possessing the ability to communicate at all levels of the organization with extreme clarity, precision, and diplomatic grace.
- A strong bias toward ownership and independent execution; you thrive with real autonomy and ambiguity rather than needing a defined playbook.
- Sound business judgment and the ability to quickly get fluent enough in a new functional domain (e.g., Legal, Finance, Revenue) to lead programs within it credibly.
- Comfortable in a lean, high-performing team where you do the work directly rather than delegate it.
- Proven ability to steer multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously, seamlessly managing shifting corporate dependencies and deadlines.
- Familiarity with AI systems to enhance personal and team productivity.
- Experience with standard project/program/portfolio tooling and using AI capabilities to enhance and scale project/program management.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Management, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Responsibilities
- Independently lead the end-to-end lifecycle of large, complex, cross-functional programs from scoping and business case through execution, launch, and post-launch measurement.
- Act as a trusted business partner to functional executives and their leadership teams, serving as their go-to contact for EPMO-supported work and as an escalation point when a program needs senior-level intervention.
- Stand up and lead cross-functional working teams without formal authority over their members: establishing shared goals, a regular cadence, and clear accountability across departments.
- Drive momentum as a force multiplier: set goals for today, this week, and the month ahead; unblock dependencies; keep distributed stakeholders aligned to a single source of truth.
- Define macro program scope, objectives, and success criteria; develop comprehensive project plans and provide the authoritative record of program decisions and status.
- Communicate program health (scope, schedule, risk, resourcing) clearly and regularly to senior and executive leadership, tailoring the message to the audience.
- Facilitate cross-functional workshops to force difficult decisions, then hold the team accountable to the resulting actions.
- Contribute to the EPMO team's standards, tools, and best practices for program management, including the adoption of AI capabilities throughout the program lifecycle.
- Set the bar for program management excellence company-wide and mentor other program managers, even without formal direct reports.
