Job summary

Thomson Reuters seeks a leader to build and guide a team of technical program managers across digital marketing, analytics, and technology, ensuring AI initiatives land with predictable delivery.

You will drive end‑to‑end AI roadmap delivery, align cross‑team dependencies, and steward change management to ensure adoption and business value. Strong leadership and communication are essential.

Qualifications

• Substantial technical program or delivery management experience running complex, cross‑functional technology programs, ideally including AI, data, or platform work.
• Proven record of dependency and stakeholder management across Teams you do not own, making delivery predictable in a matrixed environment.
• Strong change‑management and adoption results: getting people to actually use what gets built, especially when it changes how they work.
• Technical fluency: able to read code, understand system architecture and integrations, and engage credibly with engineers.
• Experience leading and developing others, whether a team or delivery organization.
• Fluency in modern delivery methods such as agile and scrum, with pragmatic application.
• Clear executive communication: status, risks, and recommendations for leaders.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Build, lead, and develop a team of technical program managers, and set the standard for how programs are run across the organization.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery of the AI roadmap: plan, sequence, track, and ship the portfolio of initiatives against committed timelines and quality bars.
• Manage cross‑team dependencies early, sequence them, and remove blockers so delivery stays predictable across Teams.
• Drive change management and adoption: bring affected people along and land capability that Teams actually use.
• Establish and run the delivery operating rhythm: intake, prioritization, planning, reviews, roadmapping, and reporting to leadership.
• Surface risks, blockers, and decisions; elevate early with options and recommendations.
• Translate between technical and business stakeholders to keep engineering, data, operations, and marketing aligned.
• Manage vendors, budgets, and external partners as programs require.
• Instrument delivery health and outcomes, reporting progress and value, including what is off track and why.
• Demonstrate technical fluency to engage on architecture, integration, and trade‑offs.
