Senior Director, Program Management - Data Ventures

Role summary

We are looking for a Senior Director, Program Management, to lead the operating model that connects priorities from strategy through execution and business impact.

This role leads our Program Management organization, helping Data Ventures prioritize the right work, make better investment and sequencing decisions, manage dependencies, prepare the business for change, and ensure initiatives are delivering the outcomes intended.

This is not a traditional PMO role centered on schedules, status reporting, meeting facilitation. The successful leader will be a systems thinker who can see across the portfolio, bring structure to ambiguity, surface tradeoffs early, and help senior leaders turn strategy into action.

What you'll do

Lead the Data Ventures portfolio operating model

Connect strategy to execution

• Translate enterprise and business priorities into sequenced plans with clear outcomes, ownership, dependencies, and decision points.

Own end-to-end lifecycle orchestration

• Lead the team in strengthening lifecycle management across strategic intake, development, business readiness, commercialization, launch, stabilization, and ongoing performance.

Strengthen portfolio governance and decision-making

• Establish portfolio reviews and executive operating cadences that focus leadership attention on decisions, tradeoffs, risks, and outcomes rather than activity reporting.

Build a scalable program management capability

• Simplify portfolio and program processes and eliminate low-value coordination, reporting, and manual work.

Build and lead a high-performing organization

What you'll bring

• Significant experience leading complex portfolio, program management, business operations, product operations, transformation, or related functions in a large-scale organization.
• Demonstrated ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and develop senior leaders.
• Deep experience translating strategy into executable plans and operating mechanisms.
• Strong portfolio management capabilities, including prioritization, governance, dependency management, investment/capacity planning, risk management, and performance measurement.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to understand how decisions in one part of an organization affect the broader portfolio and customer experience.
• Ability to simplify complex information into clear choices and recommendations.
• Strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to move between strategic thinking and detailed problem solving.
