About this role
Role Overview
- Own the initiative plan and key milestones. Drive cadence and ceremonies, track progress against goals, manage dependencies and critical path, and keep delivery on schedule.
- Surface risks early, drive them to resolution, and escalate with options. Remove blockers across teams and functions before they slow the work.
- Coordinate vendors, contractors, and full-time resources against the plan. Track scope, deliverables, and spend; hold partners to commitments; flag capacity gaps early.
- Be the connective tissue between the delivery team, the business sponsor, and Medical, Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, and Privacy. Facilitate decisions, capture them, and make sure they stick.
- Prepare and run delivery and decision reviews. Make the state of the work legible to leadership — what is on track, what is at risk, and what decision is needed.
- Support adoption of AI-enabled ways of working within the initiative, and capture learnings for reuse across the portfolio.
- Produce clear, honest status for the VP, business sponsor, and governance forums. Maintain the single source of truth on status, decisions, and risks.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience with program / project management, delivery, or technical program leadership, including complex cross-functional programs.
- Demonstrated ability to run technical delivery programs end-to-end — plans, milestones, dependencies, and risk.
- Working fluency in AI / technical delivery — able to engage credibly with engineers on what is being built and why.
- Experience coordinating vendors, contractors, and internal teams against scope, schedule, and budget.
- Strong facilitation and stakeholder management, including with senior executives.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to make complexity legible.
