The Program Manager is responsible for leading complex, cross-line of business (LOB) initiatives that require coordination across multiple teams, disciplines, and operational functions. Reporting into the Director, PMO, this role ensures large-scale or multi-workstream programs are aligned, sequenced properly, and executed with consistency across the organization.
Unlike a Project Manager who focuses on a single scope or LOB, the Program Manager operates at a portfolio level - connecting strategy to execution across functions, managing interdependencies, and driving accountability for outcomes that span multiple teams.
This role does not own client strategy or day-to-day delivery tasks. It owns cross-functional orchestration and program-level success.
