The Role

Your role
As a Complex Program Manager, you will be responsible for leading large scale, multi-workstream programs that span multiple projects, teams, and stakeholders. The role focuses on turning strategic objectives into coordinated execution plans, managing interdependencies, and ensuring measurable outcomes across scope, schedule, cost, and risk. Success is defined by delivering integrated results that achieve customer and business outcomes, not just individual project milestones. This role balances strategic oversight with hands on program control, operating as the decision point across projects while enabling project managers to deliver effectively.

What you will do

• Define the program vision, outcomes, success measures, and roadmap aligned to customer and business objectives
• Lead multiple interconnected projects, managing dependencies, sequencing, and tradeoffs across scope, schedule, and resources
• Establish and run program governance, including cadence, reporting, risk management, and decision escalation paths
• Provide direction and support to project managers, ensuring consistency in delivery approach, standards, and execution
• Manage program level financials including forecasting, tracking, and alignment to approved commitments
• Identify, assess, and mitigate cross project risks and issues before they impact outcomes
• Use data and program metrics to track progress, predict outcomes, and inform decisions
• Engage stakeholders at multiple levels to maintain alignment, transparency, and shared accountability
• Ensure program deliverables meet agreed quality, compliance, and customer expectations

Required skills and experience

• Proven experience leading complex programs with multiple concurrent projects and interdependencies
• Strong expertise in program governance, planning, risk management, and delivery controls
• Demonstrated ability to manage program financials, including forecasts, budgets, and trade offs
• Experience coordinating and influencing project managers and cross functional teams without direct authority
• Ability to translate strategic objectives into executable program plans with clear outcomes and milestones
• Experience using data, dashboards, and metrics to manage program performance and predict risks
• Ability to operate effectively in environments with changing priorities while maintaining delivery focus

Preferred skills and experience

• Program or project management certification such as PgMP, PMP, or PRINCE2
• Experience working within agile or hybrid delivery models
• Familiarity with large scale IT or transformation programs
• Experience managing external partners or vendors
• Exposure to customer facing delivery environments
