You'll lead cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact work on time and within budget, balancing creative excellence with operational rigor. Partnering closely with Creative, Growth, and Finance leaders, you'll forecast revenue, budgets, and resourcing, oversee scopes and risk management, and ensure clarity and accountability across all phases of work.

WHO YOU ARE:  

You are a strategic, client-focused program leader who thrives at the intersection of design, business, and delivery. You bring a strong ability to translate complex challenges into clear, integrated programs, and you're comfortable partnering with executive leaders and senior client stakeholders as a trusted advisor. You naturally anticipate business and industry trends, using that perspective to shape program roadmaps, guide client conversations, and identify opportunities for growth and innovation. 

You're an experienced relationship builder who can communicate effectively with both creative and technical teams, as well as with non-technical audiences. You balance rigor with flexibility-bringing structure, financial acumen, and operational discipline without stifling creativity. You understand how to lead multi-disciplinary teams, manage scope and risk, and drive accountability across complex engagements, while maintaining focus on long-term client health and business outcomes. 

You're also a hands-on leader and mentor, setting clear expectations, and raising the bar for program excellence. With a strong understanding of design and consulting environments-and a curiosity for emerging industry trends-you bring systems-level thinking, sound judgment, and a collaborative mindset that helps teams and clients succeed.
