Senior Program Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Program Manager to run the operating rhythm of Operatev — Inizio Evoke's enterprise AI platform — from the inside out. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role responsible for keeping the program on schedule and its status transparent. You'll own the connective tissue: sequencing work across Product, Development, Change & Enablement, Support, Operations, Business Transformation, and Commercialization so that nothing blocks on an unowned handoff and everyone is working from the same picture of where things stand. You will sit at the center of a program that is building and rolling out a platform to 1,200 people. That means competing priorities, real dependencies, and a delivery pace that doesn't slow down. You will bring strong program management fundamentals in a product development environment, thrive on clarity and structure, and know how to translate complex cross-functional realities into reporting that actually drives decisions. This is a remote role reporting to the Program Lead.

Responsibilities

• Own Cross-Team Sequencing: Map dependencies across functions — what depends on what, in what order — and monitor progress against that sequence; ensure handoffs are owned, surface unresolved blockers early, and drive items to closure or escalation; maintain visibility into the implications of sequencing decisions for Product, Development, and all downstream functions.
• Run the Quarterly Planning Cycle: Gather functional inputs across all workstreams; facilitate commitment-setting and document outcomes; translate quarterly commitments into trackable milestones and hold functions accountable to them.
• Track Program Resourcing: Maintain visibility into where capacity is going against what's committed and manage the program's calendar to proactively address capacity challenges; surface trends and anomalies to program leadership before they become problems; oversee recruitment process, meeting with talent acquisition for updates and ensuring timely progress through stakeholder participation.
• Set and Hold Stage Gate Standards: Define the gates work passes through and what evidence clears each one; keep functional cadences in sync without taking over internal functional processes (sprint practices
