**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

The Program Manager owns the successful strategy execution, coordination, and delivery of a portfolio of related projects for enterprise-level clients and is focused on achieving key business outcomes. The Program Manager develops the plan and direction, aligns cross-functional workstreams, and ensures that the combined output delivers measurable customer and business value.  

**Key Responsibilities:**

**Strategic Planning & Mapping**

-   Define and maintain the overall program structure, vision, and multi-quarter roadmap.
-   Translate business objectives into program goals, success criteria, and measurable outcomes.
-   Prioritize and sequence workstreams based on strategic impact, dependencies, and resource constraints.

**Cross-Workstream Collaboration**

-   Coordinate multiple workstreams (e.g., Strategic Consulting, AI scenario development, LMS implementation, content development, integrations, change management).
-   Ensure alignment between business objectives, timelines, and delivery execution across all projects.
-   Manage interdependencies across projects and teams to prevent siloed decision-making and delivery conflicts.

**Governance & Decision-Making**

-   Establish and enforce consistent governance across all projects (standards, processes, reporting, escalation paths).
-   Drive program-level decision-making and escalate issues that impact scope, timeline, budget, or strategic alignment.
-   Facilitate cross-functional forums (steering committees, working groups) to resolve conflicts and align priorities.

**Risk, Dependency & Issue Management**

-   Identify, assess, and mitigate cross-project risks and issues that could derail program outcomes.
-   Maintain a living risk register and dependency map, with clear ownership and mitigation plans.
-   Proactively surface and resolve blockers that span multiple teams or systems.

**Stakeholder & Executive Communication**

-   Provide program-level reporting to executives and stakeholders (status, risks, decisions needed, value tracking).
-   Tailor communication to audience: tactical updates for delivery teams, strategic narratives for leadership.
-   Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders across functions (Product, Engineering, L&D, HR, Customer Success, etc.).

**Value Realization & Continuous Improvement**

-   Align program outcomes with customer success and business value realization (adoption, efficiency gains, revenue impact, etc.).
-   Define and track value realization metrics post-delivery to ensure benefits are achieved.
-   Continuously improve program processes, templates, and tools based on lessons learned and feedback.

**Key Skills:**

-   Thrives in ambiguity.
-   Able to influence without authority, and has a track record of turning complex, multi-team initiatives into coherent, executable plans.
-   Thinks strategically and systemically and can connect day-to-day work to long-term business goals, see interdependencies and optimize the whole, not just individual projects.
-   Operates as a servant leader, removes blockers, empowers teams, and fosters psychological safety.
-   Is decisive in uncertainty and comfortable making recommendations with incomplete information.
-   Uses metrics to drive date-informed decisions, not just status reporting.

## Requirements

**Required**

-   7+ years of experience in program/project management, with at least 3+ years managing multi-project programs in a SaaS, tech, or professional services environment.
-   Proven track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs (e.g., platform implementations, product launches, enterprise transformations).
-   Strong understanding of program management frameworks (e.g., PMI, Agile/SAFe, hybrid models) and tools (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet).
-   Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
-   Demonstrated ability to think strategically while staying grounded in execution details.

**Preferred**

-   Experience in Learning & Development, HR Tech, or AI technology(e.g., LMS implementations, content platforms).
-   Pharma sales enablement project management and/or program management experience
-   PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification; Agile/SAFe credentials a plus.
-   Background in change management, organizational design, or process improvement.
