The Transformation Program Lead establishes and runs the operating system model, business processes, and tools that keeps the channel transformation two steps ahead — building, maintaining and providing visibility to the all work streams, milestones, RAG status reporting, dependencies, risks, blockers, requests and the required meetings/cadences required to manage it all. This is an execution and operationalization role,the ideal candidate thrives on structure, discipline, and follow-through — with deep experience running enterprise PMOs or transformation offices inside a fast-moving, matrixed organization.

• Build and maintain the required templates:
  Milestone and traffic-light status against plan;
  Dependencies, asks, and who needsto be kept informed
• Run the recurring refresh cycle so every leader's status is current and ready for sharing to the SVP & CRO
• Flag “at risk” milestones early and escale through the right channel before they become surprises

• Prepare the consolidated view for the Channel SVP, Channel LT & CRO — status, risk, and dependencies — rolled up across every priority and factory

• Own the single source of truth for transformation status; no leader should be surprised by what's on the tracker

• 5–8+ years running PMOs, transformation offices, or enterprise program management in a matrixed organization
• Experience building and running milestone/status tracking systems (traffic-light reporting, dependency trackers) across multiple leaders or teams
• Experience designing and protecting operating cadences for senior executives – familiarity with Stafford Beer's Viable Systems Model desired
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program management certification preferred
• Experience working directly with SVP/C-suite stakeholders and…
