  • Own integrated plans, budgets, forecasts, resources, vendors, dependencies, risks, issues, assumptions, and benefits, escalating decisions with clear recommendations.
  • Build alignment across business owners, product teams, HR, technology, operations, Legal, Privacy, Security, Risk, Compliance, and external partners.
  • Embed privacy, security, regulatory, records, accessibility, data, and responsible AI requirements into delivery plans and stage gates.
  • Drive change readiness and adoption by planning stakeholder engagement, communications, learning, process changes, operating model impacts, and reinforcement.
  • Use delivery data and AI-enabled tools responsibly to improve forecasting, decision-making, risk sensing, reporting, and team productivity while maintaining human accountability.
  • Provide concise, decision-oriented reporting on outcomes, milestones, financials, capacity, risks, dependencies, adoption, and benefits.
  • Establish a sustainable transition to Day 2 operations, including ownership, support processes, service measures, release planning, documentation, and continuous improvement.
  • Coach project teams, strengthen delivery discipline, and foster transparent accountability, inclusive collaboration, and learning.

  • A recognized change management credential, such as Prosci Change Management certification or CCMP, is an asset.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver complex initiatives within a broader portfolio environment by balancing competing priorities, resource constraints, cross-program dependencies, and sequencing impacts while ensuring alignment to strategic objectives and overall Book of Work commitments.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence outcomes without direct authority, driving alignment, decisions, and accountability across business and technology stakeholders while navigating complexity, ambiguity, and competing priorities.
