Overview of the Team

The Transformation Team at IPC coordinates major growth and transformation initiatives, partnering closely with the leadership team and the Board to prioritize investments and resources that help IPC achieve its full potential. Its portfolio includes customer-facing programs delivered directly with some of IPC’s largest clients.

To support the team’s growth and meet its evolving priorities and targets, we are expanding our headcount and seeking several people to join the Transformation Team in New York and Madrid. This position reports to the Director, Transformation, who is based in Madrid, Spain.

Role Overview:

• Own strategic and transformation projects within IPC Transformation, including customer-facing programs delivered with IPC’s clients, from resource allocation, and project and portfolio-level oversight, monitoring and reporting.
• Manage portfolio of program risks and mitigation plans.
• Ensure group’s strategy, priorities and projects are being delivered on time and on budget
• Develop data-based status and health criteria, drive transparent and consistent status reporting
• Own transformation and change programs spanning commercial and GTM functions (sales enablement, pipeline and revenue operations)
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations leadership to track pipeline health, funnel conversion, and the commercial impact of transformation initiatives as part of the portfolio
• Act as the accountable project manager on several client accounts at once, owning the critical path from first engagement through contract signature, implementation and handover to service delivery
• Work directly with client stakeholders — IT, information security, procurement, legal and business owners — alongside Account Executives, Systems Engineers and executive sponsors, keeping every party aligned on dates, dependencies and decisions
• Translate technical and commercial requirements into executable plans: deployment options (cloud, hybrid or on-premises), implementation phasing (lab, user acceptance, production), security and access requirements, and contractual milestones
• Run the operating rhythm of fast-moving programs — daily stand-ups and weekly reviews — with clear escalation paths and a scoreboard showing, for each account, the date, the blocker and the ask
• Manage a changing portfolio of clients, projects and circumstances, re-prioritizing quickly when deadlines, scope or client positions shift, without losing control of the overall plan
• Provide visibility on resource capacity/capability across the portfolio, spanning IT, commercial, and GTM functions, to deliver the project portfolio and perform resource planning together with other stakeholders
• Maintain master program schedule/milestones of Enterprise programs and projects
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, and re-forecasting for projects and programs within the portfolio
