What You'll Do
Lead complex, cross-functional programs from planning through execution, establishing clear goals, scope, milestones, deliverables, ownership, success measures, and operating rhythms.
Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, UX, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Legal, Events, and external partners to drive alignment and execution across multiple workstreams.
Develop and own comprehensive program plans, roadmaps, timelines, dependency maps, status trackers, decision logs, and other program-management artifacts.
Establish program governance and operating mechanisms that create clarity, accountability, transparency, and effective decision-making across teams.
Facilitate executive and cross-functional meetings, working sessions, and program reviews, ensuring decisions, risks, action items, and next steps are clearly documented and driven to closure.
Own program-level visibility, proactively tracking milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, blockers, and overall delivery health.
Anticipate risks and dependencies before they impact delivery and drive cross-functional resolution, escalation, and mitigation strategies as appropriate.
Serve as a strategic connector between business and technology teams, translating business objectives, product requirements, technical dependencies, data considerations, and delivery constraints into clear plans and decisions.
Prepare concise, executive-ready status updates, dashboards, presentations, recommendations, and other materials for senior stakeholders and leadership.
Partner deeply with Engineering and Technology teams to understand architecture-level dependencies, integrations, data requirements, technical constraints, sequencing, and delivery considerations.
Lead programs involving e-commerce platforms, digital experiences, media and content platforms, data and analytics, personalization, CRM, advertising technology, and emerging technologies including AI.
Define and track program metrics and outcomes, using data to identify trends, surface risks, measure progress, and inform decisions.
Lead cross-functional readiness for product launches, major releases, and other high-impact initiatives, ensuring critical dependencies and deliverables are addressed.
Drive 0-to-1 and highly ambiguous initiatives, creating structure and operating models where processes, ownership, or requirements may not yet be fully defined.
Identify and implement opportunities to improve program-management processes, cross-functional collaboration, communication, documentation, and execution.
Establish standards and best practices that improve the organization's ability to plan, execute, and scale complex programs.
Maintain clear, accurate, and accessible program documentation and ensure stakeholders have timely visibility into critical information.
Proactively follow up on commitments and hold workstreams accountable for agreed-upon deliverables and timelines.
Influence outcomes across teams and functions without direct authority, building strong relationships and driving alignment through credibility, communication, and effective program leadership.
Operate independently, exercising sound judgment to determine when to make decisions, when to align stakeholders, and when to escalate.
- Contribute to a culture of collaboration, transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
