- Collaborate with workstream owners to develop and maintain workstream roadmaps and execution tracking that aligns day-to-day focus of stakeholders with the broader Turnaround intent, driving clarity, prioritization, and accountability
- Conduct risk assessments at the workstream and cross-workstream level to identify interdependencies, resource constraints, delivery risks, and key decisions needed for successful execution
- Proactively flag emerging bottlenecks and risks and support development of solutions to ensure timely intervention and prevent stalled progress
- Monitor and report on progress, escalating issues through established governance forums to ensure leadership has clear visibility to status, risks, and required interventions
- Support development of solutions
- Support implementation and tracking of Turnaround business cases and value delivery, in partnership with Finance and relevant functional teams, to ensure initiatives remain linked to intended impact and funding assumptions
- Work closely with other Program Managers to bring holistic perspective and enable strong, informed collaboration to ensure workstreams understand downstream/upstream implications of their work and other ongoing efforts
- Partner with TO leadership and functional stakeholders to prepare governance materials, shape decision points, and support enterprise forums required to advance the Turnaround agenda
- Leverage data and insights from across the organization to advise workstream leads and TO leadership on performance, risks, trade-offs, and actions needed to improve delivery
Skills and Experience required:
  • Experience managing high visibility or strategically important projects from planning to execution
  • Experience supporting large, cross-functional, and high priority strategic or transformation programs, including translating company strategy and ambition to actual initiatives and actively supporting to ensure execution roadmap development, execution tracking, and governance
  • Ability to organize teams around a defined scope, milestones, success measures, and resource needs across a variety of business topics
  • Experience identifying interdependencies, escalating risks, and simplifying complex information across stakeholders to achieve a common goal
  • Experience building relationships with key stakeholders to guide and influence others to execute strategy in a rapidly changing environment, often without direct authority
  • Strong stand-alone capability: ability to lead and do, independently tracking required routine and day-to-day work while operating effectively across matrixed teams
  • Ability to synthesize and clearly communicate complex subjects and findings, both verbally and in writing
  • High degree of self-direction with the ability to seek innovative ways to achieve results efficiently and in a timely manner
  • Consulting or PMO experience in enterprise strategy or transformation environments preferred
