Are you passionate about leading complex, high-visibility initiatives that drive meaningful business outcomes across a global organization? Do you thrive in a collaborative, matrixed environment where you can influence stakeholders, build alignment, and turn strategy into execution?

About Our Team

LexisNexis Legal & Professional, which serves customers in more than 150 countries with 11,800 employees worldwide, is part of RELX (http://www.relx.com), a global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers. Our company has been a long-time leader in deploying AI and advanced technologies to the legal market to improve productivity and transform the overall business and practice of law, deploying ethical and powerful generative AI solutions with a flexible, multi-model approach that prioritizes using the best model from today’s top model creators for each individual legal use case. The company employs over 2,000 technologists, data scientists, and experts to develop, test, and validate solutions in line with RELX Responsible AI Principles (https://stories.relx.com/responsible-ai-principles/index.html).

About The Role

As a strategic program leader, you will drive the successful execution of complex, high-visibility initiatives that support business priorities and operational excellence. You will work across Operations, Product, and Technology teams to align stakeholders, manage execution, and deliver measurable outcomes while navigating a fast-paced, global environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end execution of Tier-1 and select Tier-2, complex, high-visibility initiatives, with accountability across scope, milestones, risks, dependencies, and outcomes.
• Translate strategic priorities into structured, multi-quarter initiatives with clear scope, timelines, dependencies, and success metrics.
• Drive execution across cross-functional teams and stakeholders including Operations, Product, and Technology, building strong working relationships that enable alignment and coordinated delivery.
• Operate independently in a matrixed environment, rapidly building domain understanding to challenge assumptions and support decision-making.
• Ensure initiatives meet expectations for quality, schedule, cost, and operational impact, taking corrective action as needed.
• Identify, manage, and elevate risks, dependencies, and trade-offs with clear, data-informed recommendations.
• Establish and maintain a single source of truth for initiative status (scope, schedule, risks, dependencies), supported by consistent execution cadence and reporting.
• Facilitate decision-oriented discussions and drive disciplined follow-through to ensure commitments are met and outcomes delivered.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in project management and program leadership in operations workstreams, organizational transformation, continuous improvement, and technology contexts.
• Demonstrated ability to build trust quickly, establish credibility, and motivate teams to deliver through influence rather than authority.
• Demonstrated experience independently leading large-scale, complex, cross-functional initiatives in a global, matrixed organization.
• Strong business judgment with the ability to operate across operational, strategic, and technology-enabled work.
• Demonstrated ability to engage and influence stakeholders, including senior leaders, and drive alignment through strong relationships and credibility in a global environment.
• Proven ability to manage scope, schedule, risk, and quality while maintaining execution discipline and visibility.
• Demonstrated ability to drive follow-through and deliver outcomes in complex, fast-moving environments.
• Proficiency with program and project management tools (e.g., monday.com, Azure DevOps or similar), Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and generative AI/LLM tools to support productivity and business outcomes.
• 5+ years of relevant experience leading project teams or coordinating cross-functional work; experience in or exposure to enterprise PMO environments is a plus.
• PMP and/or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certifications
• Bachelor’s degree or higher; MBA or JD preferred
• Possible travel up to 10%.
