• Own program roadmaps and ensure projects meet performance metrics including time-to-market, customer satisfaction, and ROI.

• Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives in collaboration with product owners and development leads.

• Ensure adherence to internal security and compliance standards (e.g., ISO, cybersecurity protocols).

• Support organizational change management efforts to ease transitions into new systems and workflows.

• Mentor junior team members and model strong leadership and stakeholder management behaviors.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in IT project program management, preferably within manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain environments.

• Proven experience leading ERP, CRM, CPQ, or custom development projects from concept to go-live.

• Strong understanding of agile frameworks (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban) and traditional PM methodologies (PMP or PRINCE2 is a plus).

• Demonstrated ability to work with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Product Management, Security, and Operations.

Technical Competencies

• Strong grasp of enterprise IT architectures, cloud computing (Azure/AWS), and modern integration platforms.

• Familiarity with DevOps and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Git, Docker, and modern SDLC practices.

• Understanding of cybersecurity principles and experience applying secure-by-design practices to internal or external-facing products.

• Experience with portfolio and resource management tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jira, ServiceNow, Smartsheet).

Preferred Experience

• Exposure to digital manufacturing, automated material handling, or made-to-order production environments.

• Experience with user-centered design, feedback loops, and incorporating voice-of-the-customer in IT solutions.

• Prior success managing vendors or external consultants across implementation projects.

• Knowledge of data privacy and security compliance regulations (e.g., CCPA, GDPR).

Leadership Attributes

• Highly collaborative with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.

• Thrives in fast-paced, change-heavy environments with minimal structure.

• Proactive problem solver with a mindset of ownership, innovation, and accountability.
