OUR GOAL:
Treat our consultants and clients the way we would like others to treat us!

The Global Operations COE is building the company's data and analytics backbone — a spend cube, an enterprise ontology, executive dashboards, and a growing set of AI/agent use cases. The work is a mile wide and moving fast, and it needs one person who owns the planning, organization, and execution of it end to end.

We are seeking a hands-on Program Manager to be the operational right hand to the Head of the COE. This is not a strategy/transformation role and not an ERP implementation — it is a detail-obsessed delivery role. You turn a wide, fast-moving stream of requests into an organized, prioritized, visible, on-track portfolio. Technical leads own the "how"; you own the what, when, who, and where-it-stands.

• One master portfolio in Asana — every initiative with an owner, scope, stage, priority, and due date.
• Own the integrated plan — drive the critical path and clear blockers before they escalated.
• Run the operating cadence — weekly status and a leadership review with clear, at-a-glance RAG reporting.
• Expected Overtime:
  Around 5 to 10 a week.
• Expected travel: 20% primarily US based

• 5+ years in program/project management, PMO, or chief-of-staff roles running multiple work streams at once; consulting or in-house background welcome, not required.
• A true operator who is all over the details — organized, relentless on follow-through, energized by bringing order to a sprawling set of priorities.
• Strong RAID/RAG reporting and governance instincts — structure without bureaucracy.
• Expert command of portfolio tools — Asana strongly preferred (Jira/Smartsheet/MS Project also relevant); fluent in Excel/PowerPoint and Slack/Teams/SharePoint.
• Enough data & analytics fluency to ask the right questions and challenge assumptions — you need not build the models, but must understand the work well enough to sequence and de-risk it.
• Executive presence: concise, direct, credible; thrives in ambiguity; holds teams accountable with data. Media & entertainment experience a plus.

• Single front door —capture, triage, and prioritize all D&A requests so nothing is lost and the team works on what matters most.
• One master portfolio in Asana —every initiative with an owner, scope, stage, priority, and due date.
• Weekly intake/prioritization review —convert approved requests into structured plans.

• Own the integrated plan —drive the critical path and clear blockers before they escalated.
• Keep every project moving —chase owners, dependencies, and decisions; hold the team accountable to dates with data, not just reminders.
• Scope discipline —separate committed work from nice-to-have enhancements.

• Run the operating cadence —weekly status and a leadership review with clear, at-a-glance RAG reporting.
• One trustworthy view —give the Head of COE a single picture of everything in flight: on track, at risk, needs a decision.
• Decision & action logs —track commitments to closure.

• Live RAID log —surface risks early with recommended mitigations and owners.
• Coordinate dependencies —across the team and with partner functions (Procurement, Finance, Technology, Enterprise Solutions).

• Partner with technical leads — supply the structure, sequencing, and follow-through that turns their work into delivered outcomes.
• Translate complexity —clear, business-facing updates; accountability, no jargon.

• A single Asana portfolio and intake process live — every active D&A request captured, owned, prioritized, dated.
• A weekly cadence and a one-page leadership dashboard the Head of COE trusts.
• Visible movement on the top…
