- Develop program plans, timelines, budgets, governance, and risk management strategies.
- Coordinate operational readiness, business continuity, and post-transition stabilization.
- Work closely with executives and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition with minimal business disruption.
Required Experience
- Proven experience successfully managing a corporate carve-out, business separation, or spin-off.
- Strong senior program management experience with complex, enterprise-wide initiatives.
- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams across IT, HR, Finance, Legal, and Operations.
- Knowledge of shared services separation, operational readiness, and transition planning.
- Strong executive stakeholder management, leadership, and communication skills.
