• Identify key requirements needed from cross-functional teams and external vendors as appropriate.
• Track and manage interdependencies across teams to ensure predictable delivery and accountability.
• Assist P&T leadership with ad hoc tasks that contribute to our multi-year strategy.
• Own P&T program and project portfolio management, including prioritization and alignment with quarterly planning and annual objectives.
• Support quarterly planning efforts by assessing demand, sequencing work, and facilitating trade-off discussions.
• Partner with leaders on P&T capacity planning to balance workloads across planned and unplanned initiatives.
• Support Comp & Audit Committee–related project planning and execution.
• Establish clear governance models including approval paths, decision tracking, and escalation mechanisms.
• Provide regular, concise updates to leadership on project status, risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies.
• Partner with stakeholders on change management, communications, and adoption strategies to ensure sustainable outcomes.
• Develop and continuously improve project management standards, routines, and frameworks for P&T.
• Build PM capability across the organization through templates, tooling, coaching, and best practices.
• Ensure consistent, transparent reporting across programs and projects.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience establishing PMO practices, project governance, or portfolio management in a matrixed organization.
• Strong leadership and facilitation skills with the ability to influence without direct authority.
• Experience applying change management principles and measuring adoption and outcomes.
• Comfort partnering with leadership, legal, finance, engineering, and all people & talent teams and navigating complex dependencies.
• Strong analytical judgment and ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
• Demonstrated success defining and tracking KPIs for project performance and portfolio health.
• Bachelor’s degree required; master’s degree preferred in business, engineering, or a related field.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile practices and methodologies.
