visibility to milestones, dependencies, decisions, resource constraints, risks, and expected business outcomes across the portfolio.* Ensure initiatives are appropriately sequenced and aligned with divisional strategy, business capacity, and leadership priorities.* Identify cross-functional risks and dependencies that may not be visible within individual workstreams and elevate them for leadership action.* Challenge initiative and workstream leaders to address off-track commitments and develop credible recovery plans without assuming ownership of functional execution.* Continuously evaluate and evolve the PMO approach as the division’s strategy, scale, and complexity change. **Strategic Initiative Coordination*** Serve as the central coordination point for the ingredients division’s most significant cross-functional priorities and transformation efforts.* Provide the Division President and Senior Leadership Team with a single, integrated view of progress across major initiatives without duplicating the delivery responsibilities that reside within individual functions.* Partner with executive sponsors and workstream leaders to clarify objectives, scope, milestones, decision requirements, interdependencies, risks, and measures of success.* Escalate significant barriers, unresolved dependencies, and material deviations from agreed plans to the President or appropriate Senior Leadership Team member.* Design and lead the Senior Leadership Team’s operating rhythm, including leadership meetings, business reviews, strategic planning sessions, decision forums, and off sites.* Partner with the President to determine meeting priorities, frame critical decisions, identify trade-offs, and direct leadership attention toward the most important business matters.* Integrate information and perspectives from across the division into a clear, trusted leadership view.* Drive follow-through between leadership meetings and ensure decisions, commitments, and unresolved issues remain visible through completion.**Change Management and Communications*** Set the communication strategy for major divisional initiatives and organizational changes, aligned with the broader change-management approach.* Translate business strategy, leadership decisions, and complex organizational changes into clear, credible, and actionable messages.* Lead the development of change-related executive communications, including leadership messages, presentations, talking points, town hall materials, employee updates, frequently asked questions, and manager toolkits.* Ensure communications clearly explain what is changing, why the change is needed, how employees may be affected, and what actions are expected.* Partner with Human Resources and Communications to align divisional messages with organizational priorities, culture, and employee engagement efforts.* Coordinate with Commercial and Marketing when internal change messages intersect with external brand, customer, or market communications.**Crisis and Special Circumstances Support*** Own the Ingredients division’s Crisis Handbook and Special Circumstances manual, ensuring that roles, escalation paths, decision rights, communication protocols, and contact information remain current.* Establish a regular review and testing process to strengthen divisional readiness for crisis, sensitive, or non-standard business situations.* Serve as the coordination and communications lead supporting the President and designated Crisis Manager during an active crisis.* Convene the appropriate stakeholders, maintain a reliable source of current information, and oversee real-time decision and action tracking.* Lead the development and coordination of timely, accurate, and consistent internal communications throughout the response.* Ensure crisis execution remains with the President, Crisis Manager, and appropriate functional leaders while maintaining the governance and coordination required to keep the response organized and moving forward.* Lead after-action reviews, document lessons learned, and ensure approved improvements are incorporated into crisis protocols, communication plans, and readiness materials.* Maintain discretion and sound judgment when managing confidential, sensitive, or high-impact matters. **You Are Best Suited for the Role If You Have the Following Experience, Skills and Qualifications*** 10 or more years of progressive leadership experience in program or portfolio management, change management, business operations, or related discipline.* Bachelor’s degree in business administration, project management, organizational development, change management, communications, or a related field; an advanced degree or relevant professional certification is preferred.* At least 5 years of demonstrated experience establishing or leading a PMO, enterprise portfolio, transformation office, or comparable business-governance function.* Experience serving as a trusted advisor to senior executives and translating leadership priorities into clear strategies, governance practices, communications, and action plans.* Ability to translate complex business strategies, decisions, and organizational changes into clear and compelling communications.* Demonstrated experience leading the people side of organizational transformation, including stakeholder engagement, impact assessment, readiness, communication, adoption, and sustainability.* Experience supporting acquisitions, integrations, major investments, organizational redesigns, or other large-scale business transformations is strongly preferred.* Strong strategic thinking and business acumen, with the ability to connect business priorities, organizational impacts, employee needs, and execution risks.* Exceptional writing, presentation, facilitation, and verbal communication capabilities, with the ability to communicate effectively from the plant floor to the executive leadership level.* Ability to synthesize complex and sometimes conflicting information into a clear, reliable enterprise view and actionable recommendations.* Demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders, challenge constructively, and drive accountability across functions without relying on direct authority.* Strong judgment and discretion when handling confidential, sensitive, crisis-related, or high-impact business matters.* Knowledge of recognized project management, portfolio management, change management, and communication principles and methodologies.* Proven ability to build trusted relationships and operate as an objective, collaborative partner across functions and leadership levels.* Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and related project,
