About The Position

The Senior Director, Enterprise Program Management is a senior enterprise leader responsible for establishing the governance, operating models, and execution discipline required to deliver the company’s most critical and complex transformation initiatives. Reporting to the Vice President, Enterprise PMO, this role designs and embeds the enterprise execution framework that translates strategy into outcomes. The position focuses on how large, cross-functional initiatives are structured, governed, and managed, and how executive leaders gain confidence through transparency, rigor, and consistent execution. While the Enterprise PMO owns program delivery capacity and talent, this role is accountable for enterprise-level execution architecture. This includes governance models, portfolio mechanisms, operating cadence, and execution standards that enable large initiatives to move from strategy to measurable results across a global, highly regulated organization. As needed, the role may directly lead high-impact enterprise programs and, over time, build or oversee senior program leadership capacity. This position operates at the intersection of strategy and execution, partnering closely with executive leadership and senior functional leaders to orchestrate delivery, surface tradeoffs, and strengthen enterprise execution maturity.
