Establish clear ownership and accountability for every milestone, dependency and decision.
Track program status, identify risks and cross-team dependencies early, and escalate or resolve issues to keep execution on track.
Re-sequence and re-plan programs as vertical priorities shift, keeping stakeholders informed of trade-offs.
Reporting and governance
Run a regular program cadence (status reviews, steering updates, risk and decision logs) with consistent reporting for broader and senior stakeholders.
Consolidate vertical program progress, risks and outcomes into the QPR and QBR cycle, and translate the outcomes into actions with owners and timelines.
Provide senior leaders with a clear, concise view of progress across verticals, highlighting where support or decisions are needed.
Operating model and program office support
Partner with the other program offices to design and drive a more effective, shared operating model.
Develop and maintain reusable templates, playbooks, checklists, processes and reporting formats that make execution consistent across programs and verticals.
Embed these standards in day-to-day practice, and capture lessons learned so each program builds on the last rather than starting from scratch.
Share best practices and coach program owners and teams on adoption.
Experience and capabilities
5+ years of experience in program management, PMO, GTM or commercial operations, or strategy and operations in a B2B environment.
Proven track record driving cross-functional initiatives across product, marketing, sales, and enablement.
Experience designing and running operating frameworks, governance rhythms and reporting for senior audiences.
Ability to bring structure to ambiguous, fast-moving environments and to influence without direct authority.
Strong communication and synthesis skills: able to turn complex programs into clear, actionable updates.

Experience in SaaS, data, technology or knowledge-based businesses is a plus.
