You will lead cross-functional teams across Legal, Procurement, Logistics, Sales, Finance, and IT, shaping the PMO and readiness through governance, dashboards, and post-program reviews.

Qualifications

• 7-10 years of relevant experience in program management, transformation, or a center of excellence environment.
• PMP, PgMP, or ASCM (APICS) certification.

• Drive scope, schedule, and budget control by protecting the baseline and managing change through a disciplined process to keep the program on time and on budget.
• Surface risks early, frame decisions with clear options and recommendations, and document outcomes so they are not re-litigated.
• Lead a portfolio of supply chain programs, including major ramps and high-complexity transitions, and set the program management standard for plans, cadence, gates, reporting, and post-program review.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies and change by aligning Legal, Direct Materials, Indirect Procurement, Logistics, Sales, Finance, and IT; resolve working-level conflicts and elevate blocked dependencies with the decision required clearly stated.
