  • Monitor and govern program and portfolio progress by defining KPIs/success metrics, tracking performance, and reporting status to senior leadership and stakeholders.
  • Intervene to stabilize struggling projects, addressing bottlenecks in planning, communication, and execution, while mentoring your team to handle challenges independently.
  • Shape and uplift program management practices by identifying improvements to processes, tools, and governance standards, and driving adoption across your team and the PMO.
  • Provide leadership in issue and risk management, ensuring timely resolution while coaching your team in effective escalation and stakeholder communication.
  • Continuously evaluate program performance, capture lessons learned, and implement improvements to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and team capability.
  • Manage client and stakeholder expectations, diplomatically pushing back when needed, while guiding your team in effective stakeholder engagement and communication.

  • 8 years of program management experience, including managing teams of program/project managers, leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in technology or financial services.
  • Proven experience in client-facing roles, with strong ability to manage expectations, communicate effectively, and build relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence across all organizational levels, particularly senior management.
  • Track record of successfully delivering large-scale, complex programs and/or portfolios from inception to completion.
  • Experience using PMO and program management tools such as MS Project, SharePoint, MS Teams, RAID logs, and program dashboards.
  • Strong leadership, people management, cross-functional coordination, and communication skills, with the ability to drive results and develop high-performing teams.
