Responsibilities
- Support the integration of Support & Digital Experience planning and program execution with corporate planning standards to eliminate planning lag across the organization
- Partner with Support, Product, Engineering, IT, Finance, and Operations stakeholders to scope, sequence, and execute high-priority programs with clear ownership, decision points, dependencies, and success measures
- Maintain an integrated program-level view for assigned initiatives to provide leadership with reliable and on-time visibility into scope, progress, risks, decisions, and business outcomes
- Drive the end-to-end execution of complex, cross-functional Support & Digital Experience programs, ensuring that workstreams stay aligned to agreed scope, delivery timelines, and technical dependencies

- Mentor and develop less experienced program managers by sharing frameworks, reviewing program plans, and modeling strong program management practices
- Run effective operating cadences for assigned programs, including working team forums, leadership reviews, risk reviews, and launch readiness checkpoints
- Lead through influence rather than authority, driving alignment and accountability across teams with competing priorities and no direct reporting relationship

- Represent assigned Support & Digital Experience programs in cross-functional planning and execution forums to ensure operational impacts are understood and addressed
- Lead defined transformation initiatives that improve support systems, customer self-service, technical support engineer workflows, and operational execution maturity
- Apply organizational change management principles to sustain adoption of new systems, processes, and ways of working across affected teams
- Anticipate industry disruptions driven by AI, and leverage AI trends to enhance functional strategy and long-term operational excellence
- Partner with AI, automation, product, engineering, and operations teams to identify and execute practical opportunities to reduce repetitive manual work, improve precision, and increase self-service effectiveness
- Use lean and continuous improvement principles to assigned programs, helping teams eliminate waste, clarify ownership, and improve handoffs
- Use internal data, stakeholder feedback, customer pain points, and industry practices to recommend improvements, shape program priorities, and support investment decisions
