Senior IT Program Manager

About the role

We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You have spent a decade learning that the hardest part of enterprise IT is not the technology, it is getting thirty different teams with thirty different priorities to move in the same direction. You know the difference between a program that delivers and one that stalls, and it usually comes down to whether someone asked the right questions in month two, not month ten. Executive stakeholders do not intimidate you. You have sat in enough rooms where the ask was vague and the timeline was impossible to know how to translate strategy into something a delivery team can actually execute. You do not wait for perfect clarity. You work with what you have, fill in what is missing, and keep the program moving. At Synopsys, you will own programs that matter across the CIO organization, working on infrastructure, platforms, and transformation initiatives that enable a global company to scale. You will work within the CIO organization, partnering closely with Digital Platforms and Infrastructure & Operations teams. This role operates at the heart of enterprise delivery, working across Architecture, Infrastructure, Security, Business, and Product teams to drive execution of critical initiatives that enable business scale, resilience, and transformation. You will have significant autonomy and executive visibility, with accountability for outcomes that materially advance the CIO organization's strategic objectives.
