Director of Program Management

About the Role

As organizations scale across global markets, product lines, and technology ecosystems, disciplined execution becomes a strategic differentiator. We are seeking a Director of Program Management to lead complex, multi-year initiatives that sit at the intersection of technology, product, operations, and enterprise strategy.

This role is designed for a senior program leader who has successfully operated within large, matrixed organizations where execution requires orchestration across Engineering, Product, Finance, Operations, Security, Legal, and Commercial teams. You will own the program management function for a portfolio of mission-critical initiatives, including platform modernization, AI adoption, cloud migration, customer experience transformation, and enterprise operating-model evolution.

The Director of Program Management will be responsible for building execution frameworks, governing delivery at scale, and ensuring that strategic priorities translate into measurable outcomes.
