The Senior Director of Program Excellence serves as the enterprise authority for delivery excellence, program governance, and operational performance across Everforth ECS.

The Senior Director of Program Excellence partners with Business Unit Leaders, Account Portfolio Leaders, and corporate support functions to strengthen execution discipline, improve customer outcomes, and enable sustainable growth.
This role provides enterprise governance, executive oversight, performance insight, and operational leadership that enables Business Units to deliver successfully. This role transforms operational performance into a competitive advantage, improving customer trust, increasing recompete success, expanding adjacent growth opportunities, and driving stronger financial performance across the enterprise.
Primary Responsibilities:

Establish common methodologies for assessing program financial health, delivery performance, customer health, risk, compliance, recompete readiness, and growth potential.
  • Proactive Enterprise Risk Management: Identify systemic delivery risks, recurring delivery issues, staffing constraints, and opportunities for operational improvement and facilitate corrective actions and continuous improvement across Business Units.
  • Management Capability Development: Develop playbooks, communities of practice, and enterprise program management standards.
  • PgM/PM Maturity: Drive PgM/PM continuous improvement initiatives that improve delivery predictability, operational efficiency, and customer outcomes across Business Units.

  • Facilitate executive discussions on enterprise program performance, emerging risks, and strategic delivery priorities.
  • Build communities of practice that elevate program management capability across Everforth ECS.

Governance & Enterprise Oversight
  • Own the Enterprise Program Health Review (PHR) governance process, including program selection criteria, review cadence, health assessments, executive reporting, and action tracking.
  • Establish and maintain enterprise delivery standards, program review templates, health scorecards, and governance artifacts. Work with Government, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Team to create an enterprise Process Asset Library.
  • Monitor enterprise delivery risks and coordinate executive escalation when program performance threatens financial results, customer relationships, compliance, or strategic growth.
  • Provide executive leadership with portfolio-level insights, trends, and recommendations that improve operational decision-making.
  • Ensure corrective actions from executive reviews are assigned, tracked, and closed.
  • Conduct customer reviews at mid-course reviews (MCR) or when execution or governance issues arise to engender customer satisfaction and delivery confidence.
  • Work with GRC to continuously improve enterprise program management standards, governance, and operational processes aligned with industry best practices and company quality, cybersecurity, and compliance frameworks (e.g., PMI, CMMI, ISO, CMMC, NIST) to improve delivery consistency, customer confidence, and organizational maturity.

Success Measures (KPIs)
The Program Excellence Lead will be measured by enterprise outcomes, including:
  • Improvement in CPARS ratings across strategic programs
  • Increased Program Health Review compliance and corrective action closure rates
  • Reduction in enterprise delivery escalations and high-risk program incidents
  • Improvement in Gross Margin After Fee (GMAF) across reviewed programs
  • Improved forecast accuracy and delivery predictability
  • Increased recompete win rate for programs participating in the Program Health Review process
  • Growth in adjacent mission opportunities resulting from strong delivery performance
  • Adoption of enterprise program management standards across Business Units
