Lead the planning and execution of complex, cross-functional risk reduction programs.
Establish program structure, define milestones, and ensure alignment across stakeholders while maintaining visibility into risks, dependencies, and progress.
Translate high-level objectives into actionable plans, drive accountability across teams, and provide oversight to ensure initiatives deliver measurable business impact.
Forge and maintain strategic partnerships with stakeholders across privacy, legal, security, policy, and other partner teams (varying by program), and become a trusted partner to program sponsors and working groups.
Oversee the implementation and continuous improvement of program processes and protocols.
Scale existing programs, identify areas of opportunity, and apply MVP and phased approaches to deliver results iteratively.
Develop and execute a forward-thinking communication strategy.
Distill complex topics into clear updates for leadership, produce crisp slide presentations, and adjust the level of detail based on audience (working group through VP).
Lead programs through the full lifecycle (planning, design, build, execution, post-launch measurement) with a ~60/40 split between strategic and execution work overall, managing no more than two programs simultaneously.
Use Asana and Airtable for day-to-day program management, Miro for workshops and offsites, and adopt AI tools to work more efficiently.

Approximately 10 years of consistent program management experience, with depth in foundational program management fundamentals (planning, design, execution, governance, and reporting)
Track record managing large cross-functional programs, with evidence of strategic impact (success metrics that show the program moved the needle, e.g., "improved X by Y percent")
Experience designing and delivering multi-phase programs, including MVP or phase-one approaches
Exemplary written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to dial information up or down based on the audience and produce polished slide presentations
Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build relationships and become a trusted partner to senior leaders and working groups
Strategic mindset paired with strong execution: comfortable understanding the strategy created by partners, asking the right questions, and designing programs to drive to outcomes
Comfort navigating ambiguity in environments where industry knowledge may be limited at the start
Industry background is flexible. Enterprise risk, governance, regulatory compliance, financial services, or banking experience can support faster onboarding but is not required
Hands-on experience with program management tools such as Asana and Airtable; familiarity with Miro and AI productivity tools is a plus
Bachelor's degree preferred. Flexibility for exceptional candidates with strong, demonstrated program management experience who otherwise meet the bar.
