Track program risks, issues, and dependencies, driving timely resolution and maintaining momentum across multiple initiatives.
Oversee program budgeting, forecasting, and expense management, including developing annual plans and monitoring financial performance throughout the year.

What you’ll bring:

Deep experience leading large-scale programs or portfolios of interconnected initiatives across an organization.

Strong financial acumen, including expertise in budgeting, forecasting, expense management, and cost-benefit analysis.
High emotional intelligence, a strong sense of urgency, and the ability to move projects forward through collaboration, patience, and assertive leadership.

What’s in it for you:

Career Growth: Regular learning sessions and development opportunities 
Total Rewards: Incentive pay, annual salary reviews, employer-paid benefits and pension matching 
Time Away: Competitive vacation plus one paid volunteer day each year
Flexibility: Healthy work-life balance with employee wellness always top of mind, complemented by a “dress for your day” approach
