Job Summary

The Transformation Program Lead establishes and runs the operating system model, business processes, and tools that keeps the channel transformation two steps ahead - building, maintaining and providing visibility to the all workstreams, milestones, RAG status reporting, dependencies, risks, blockers, requests and the required meetings/cadences required to manage it all. This is an execution and operationalization role, the ideal candidate thrives on structure, discipline, and follow-through - with deep experience running enterprise PMOs or transformation offices inside a fast-moving, matrixed organization.

Responsibilities

Milestone Tracking & Traffic-Light Reporting

• Build and maintain the required templates: Milestone and traffic-light status against plan; Dependencies, asks, and who needsto be kept informed
• Run the recurring refresh cycle so every leader's status is current and ready for sharing to the SVP & CRO
• Flag "at risk" milestones early and elevate through the right channel before they become surprises

Cadence & Meeting Operating Rhythm

• Own the cadence architecture - weekly cadence/monthly/executive review steercos as well as all agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups
• Ensure every session has a clear owner, a decision log, and closed-loop follow-through on action items
• Optimize every call - no meeting happens without a purpose, an owner, and a next step

Dependency & Accountability Management

• Maintain the ask/dependency tracker for each channel workstream - what's owed, by whom, by when, and who needs to be kept informed
• Chase open commitments to closure; expedite stalled dependencies before they block delivery
• Hold leaders accountable to their own commitments without requiring the VP to chase each one personally

Templates & Operating System Build-Out

• Partner with the VP Strategy & Transformation to translate the operating-system design into simple, repeatable templates
• Continuously refine templates based on what leaders actually use versus ignore
• Build the toolkit once, rather than reinventing it per leader or per cycle

Executive Reporting & Visibility

• Prepare the consolidated view for the Channel SVP, Channel LT & CRO - status, risk, and dependencies - rolled up across every priority and factory
• Make reporting airtight enough that the VP can operate as architect, not operator
• Own the single source of truth for transformation status; no leader should be surprised by what's on the tracker

Qualifications

• 5-8+ years running PMOs, transformation offices, or enterprise program management in a matrixed organization
• Experience building and running milestone/status tracking systems (traffic-light reporting, dependency trackers) across multiple leaders or teams
• Experience designing and protecting operating cadences for senior executives - familiarity with Stafford Beer's Viable Systems Model desired
