Program Manager

Responsibilities Own the system, not just the plan - Serve as the single source of truth across scope, dependencies, risks, and decisions. Translate strategic intent into executable plans and ensure teams stay aligned as conditions change. Lead executive-level governance and decision-making - Design and run governance forums that drive clarity, accountability, and timely decisions. Frame trade-offs, elevate risks with context, and guide leaders toward resolution. Influence without authority - Build credibility across stakeholders. Resolve conflict, align incentives, and keep teams moving forward even when priorities compete. Anticipate and manage risk proactively - Identify systemic risks early, not just delivery issues. Drive mitigation plans that balance speed, quality, and business impact. Model strong program leadership behaviors - Demonstrate clear thinking, decisive action, and calm execution under pressure. Set the tone for accountability, transparency, and follow-through. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated business operations experience (e.g., PMO, strategy, operations, portfolio management). 6+ years of experience leading cross-functional programs with competing priorities. 3+ years operating autonomously in ambiguous, unstructured environments, where success required judgment, prioritization, and trade-off decisions, not just execution against a defined backlog. Demonstrated business acumen, translating strategy into execution plans, defining success metrics, and managing outcomes against business objectives. Experience establishing and using dashboards to drive decisions, surface risk, and communicate progress to senior leaders. Strong executive communication skills, having the ability to synthesize complex information, frame decisions, and influence without authority. Proven stakeholder management and relationship-building skills, with the ability to align teams with conflicting incentives and perspectives. Confidence leading through ambiguity, balancing structure with adaptability, and making progress without perfect information. Emotional intelligence and sound judgment, the ability to navigate tension, challenge constructively, and maintain trust across teams. Note: This role is not a technical program manager position. While technical fluency is valuable, success in this role depends on business judgment, influence, and execution leadership. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jobtailor
