Enterprise Program Manager

Position: ENTERPRISE PROGRAM MANAGER
Job Summary:

The Enterprise Program Manager exists to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives toward their intended business outcomes, coordinating work across any combination of departments where no single function has the authority or visibility to deliver alone. This role has the organizational mandate to surface missed commitments, unresolved dependencies, resource constraints, and decision gaps to functional and executive leadership, and to drive timely resolution.

The Enterprise Program Manager is also accountable for the health of the enterprise initiative portfolio as a whole - assessing organizational capacity, surfacing competing priorities and sequencing conflicts, and recommending which initiatives should start, stop, continue, or be reprioritized.

Enterprise Visibility and Reporting Maintain portfolio-level reporting for executive leadership, including dashboards spanning  and Azure Dev Ops/Jira.

Own the governance model, architecture, and adoption standards for enterprise initiative tracking - defining what is tracked, how, and by whom.

Enterprise Tracking Governance ()Own governance, architecture, standards, and adoption of  as the enterprise tracking tool - deciding what fields, boards, and update cadences are required for an initiative to be properly tracked and driving contributor adoption of that standard.

Tactical administration - board creation, permissions, field maintenance, day-to-day troubleshooting - sits elsewhere in the organization or is delegated and is not part of this role's responsibilities.

Functional leaders retain accountability for the accuracy of their own department's deliverables, status, and resource commitments as reflected in the tool; this role owns the governance model and standard, not verification of every department's individual inputs.
