  • Proven success in influencing senior executives without direct authority

  • Experience building or transforming PMO or program governance functions at scale

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Executive presence with the ability to communicate clearly at the board and C-suite levels

  • Highly analytical thinker who balances data-driven decisions with sound judgment

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills with a reputation for trust and credibility

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity while bringing clarity to complex environments

  • Provide strategic insights on program sequencing, investment tradeoffs, and risk exposure

  • Support M&A integrations and enterprise-wide transformation initiatives

  • Enable leadership with clear visibility into execution health, dependencies, and outcomes

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid or remote-flexible model, depending on location

  • Occasional travel (10–20%) for leadership meetings, partner engagement, and program milestones

  • Fast-paced, high-impact environment aligned with enterprise-scale operations
