Responsibilities

• Build the Function
• Continue to stand up a centralized PMO operating model, including governance cadence, portfolio reporting, and stage-gate discipline calibrated to accelerate, not hinder, AI and software delivery.
• Design for a fast-moving technology organization, not a traditional heavyweight enterprise PMO.
• Define and Execute the Software Growth Strategy
• Establish the software strategy required to drive recurring growth (ARR), including the deployment of policies, processes, and governance that enable effective Product and Commercialization (PAC) execution across business sites as part of the NPI lifecycle.
• Ensure software products and technology-forward innovations are successfully executed, scaled, and deployed to customer sites.
• Serve as Forge’s Business Engagement Leader
• Act as the single point of contact for all software engagement across the Strategic Business Groups (SBGs), aligning business priorities with execution and delivery while ensuring consistent stakeholder engagement and accountability across the portfolio.
• Run the Portfolio
• Own end-to-end governance across AI platforms, software products, product releases, and transformation initiatives, including resourcing trade-offs, dependency management, risk escalation, and executive portfolio reviews that drive actionable decisions.
• Lead the Forge Program Management team to deliver strategic commitments, establish operational focus and clarity (FOC), and enable successful execution across the organization.
• Scale AI and Software From Concept to Production
• Partner directly with engineering, data, product, and business leaders to create delivery frameworks that move AI and software initiatives from proof-of-concept to enterprise-scale deployment.
• Embed responsible AI, software governance, and commercialization standards from inception through deployment.
• Ensure critical strategic software partnerships are effectively planned, managed, and executed to achieve targeted business outcomes.
• Own the Numbers
• Drive benefits realization, ARR growth objectives, and ROI accountability across the portfolio.
• Partner with Finance and business leaders to ensure every initiative is tied to measurable outcomes, including revenue growth, productivity gains, customer impact, and software adoption.
• Ensure Forge AOP planning and execution are rigorously managed and supported through appropriate EOPS activities and operational rhythms.

Qualifications

• 12+ years in program/portfolio leadership, including experience building a PMO function in a matrixed global organization
• Direct experience delivering complex technology or AI/software platform programs, with an understanding of the AI lifecycle from concept to production, not just project plans
• A track record of influencing senior technical leaders who don't default to deferring to process
• Demonstrated comfort holding both rigor and speed in tension, knowing when governance accelerates or hinders delivery
• Familiarity with Agile/SAFe and modern delivery models, adapting frameworks to the organization not the other way around
