Job Description

About the Role

At enterprise scale, execution discipline is a strategic advantage. We are seeking a Vice President of Program Management to lead how the organization plans, governs, and delivers its most complex, cross-functional initiatives and programs that directly shape strategy, operating performance, and long-term value creation.

This role sits at the center of the company’s execution engine. The Vice President will own the enterprise program management function, ensuring that strategic priorities translate into coordinated, high-velocity execution across Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Commercial teams. The portfolio includes multi-year initiatives such as digital modernization, AI adoption, platform transformation, operating-model redesign, and global scale programs.

You will design and institutionalize an enterprise-grade execution framework bringing clarity to priorities, rigor to governance, transparency to performance, and accountability to outcomes. Acting as a trusted partner to the CEO, C-suite, and Board, the VP of Program Management ensures that complexity does not slow progress and that delivery remains aligned with strategic intent.

This is not a PMO oversight role. It is a mandate to build execution excellence as a core enterprise capability, embedding discipline, pace, and results into how the organization operates.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Lead the enterprise program management organization with accountability for delivery of strategic initiatives.

  • Define and implement governance frameworks, operating cadence, and execution standards across the enterprise.

  • Oversee a portfolio of high-impact programs, including digital transformation, AI initiatives, and platform modernization.

  • Translate corporate strategy into executable roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, and success metrics.

  • Establish prioritization and investment discipline across competing initiatives and constrained resources.

  • Drive executive transparency through dashboards, value-realization tracking, and risk escalation processes.

  • Identify cross-program risks and interdependencies; implement mitigation and recovery plans.

  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Finance leaders to ensure alignment and execution rigor.

  • Build, mentor, and retain senior program leaders with strong succession depth.

  • Present program performance, insights, and recommendations to executive leadership and board committees.

Job Qualifications and Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in enterprise program management, transformation leadership, or large-scale execution roles.

  • Proven success leading complex, multi-year initiatives within large, global organizations.

  • Demonstrated experience building or scaling enterprise PMO or execution governance models.

  • Strong understanding of technology-driven transformation, including AI-enabled programs.

  • Ability to influence and align C-suite leaders and senior stakeholders.

  • Strong financial and operational acumen, including benefits realization and ROI tracking.

  • Experience managing large teams, portfolios, and enterprise delivery frameworks.

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Enterprise-level strategic thinker with disciplined execution mindset.

  • Executive presence with credibility to challenge, align, and influence senior leaders.

  • Highly structured, analytical, and outcomes-oriented.

  • Calm, decisive leader who performs effectively in high-stakes environments.

  • Exceptional communicator capable of simplifying complexity for executive audiences.

  • Strong people leader with a focus on accountability, development, and performance.

Strategic Support

  • Serve as a core advisor to the CEO, COO, CFO, and executive leadership team on execution strategy.

  • Support enterprise planning cycles, transformation roadmaps, and capital allocation decisions.

  • Enable leadership alignment during major change initiatives, restructures, or expansions.

  • Provide execution leadership during M&A integration and enterprise optimization efforts.

  • Embed execution excellence as a durable, organization-wide capability.

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid executive work environment with global scope and accountability.

  • Regular engagement with C-suite leaders, senior executives, and board-level stakeholders.

  • Periodic domestic and international travel to support enterprise initiatives.

  • High-visibility role with direct impact on enterprise performance and strategic outcomes.
