Cross-Functional Programs and Partnerships Manager
The Cross-Functional Programs and Partnerships Manager is responsible for shaping, coordinating and driving the successful execution of strategic ICT initiatives spanning multiple business domains, regions, organizations and external ecosystems. Operating in a highly matrixed environment, the role acts as a trusted integrator between Business, Enterprise Architecture, ICT Domains, Regional Organizations and external partners, ensuring that initiatives are properly understood, scoped, designed, funded and executed in alignment with Stellantis strategic objectives and standards.
The role starts well before execution begins. It requires the ability to understand business objectives, challenge assumptions, facilitate the definition of the most appropriate target solution, coordinate architecture and domain experts, assess implementation options and prepare realistic cost, effort and delivery evaluations supporting investment and prioritization decisions. A key mission of the role is to promote convergence-by-design across all initiatives.
Convergence does not necessarily mean deploying identical ICT solutions everywhere. Instead, it means continuously identifying and advocating for the most appropriate convergent solution considering business priorities, local constraints, regulatory requirements, implementation complexity and long-term value creation for Stellantis. The role requires exceptional stakeholder management capabilities, including direct interaction with senior leaders up to VP and SVP level, and strong team-building skills to orchestrate multidisciplinary teams composed of Business and ICT contributors, without direct hierarchical authority.
The position is also expected to act as a catalyst for Artificial Intelligence adoption, actively identifying opportunities to leverage AI in order to accelerate delivery, improve decision-making, increase operational efficiency and maximize the value generated by the programs under management.
