Job Description

About the Role

At enterprise scale, program management is not about tracking milestones; it is about orchestrating strategy, execution, and accountability across complex, multi-year initiatives. We are seeking a Senior Director of Program Management to lead a portfolio of high-impact programs that sit at the center of business transformation, technology modernization, and operational excellence.

This role is designed for a senior leader who understands how to translate executive strategy into disciplined execution across functions, geographies, and delivery models. The Senior Director will own enterprise program governance, delivery assurance, and performance management, ensuring that strategic initiatives are delivered on time, on budget, and with measurable business outcomes.

You will partner closely with C-suite leaders, business unit heads, Technology, Finance, and Operations to align priorities, manage interdependencies, and drive results. Your mandate is to create clarity, momentum, and accountability across the organization’s most critical initiatives.

This is not a PMO administration role. It is a mandate to build program management as a strategic execution engine that enables the enterprise to move faster, smarter, and with confidence.

  • Establish governance, standards, and execution frameworks for large-scale programs.

  • Deep understanding of governance, risk management, and delivery methodologies.

  • Demonstrated ability to scale teams, frameworks, and operating models.

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or certifications (PMP, PgMP, SAFe, etc.) preferred.

  • Strategic thinker with exceptional execution discipline.

  • Executive presence with strong influencing and communication skills.

  • Highly organized, decisive, and comfortable in high-complexity environments.

  • Resilient leader who drives accountability without bureaucracy.

  • Results-oriented with a strong ownership mindset.

Strategic Support

  • Support enterprise strategy execution and long-range planning.

  • Partner with Technology and Operations on modernization initiatives.

  • High-visibility role with accountability for mission-critical initiatives.
