The portfolio includes ERP transformations (Oracle, SAP), best-of-breed SaaS implementations, custom application builds, and infrastructure programs, delivered across a global manufacturing and distribution footprint in a regulated environment (FDA, SOX).

This leader is accountable for program execution, cost control, and business value realization, and sets a consistent delivery model and governance standard that adheres to global PMO tools, templates, and frameworks. As a steward of PMO excellence, this leader contributes improvements back to the PMO and drives adoption of its standards across the broader IT organization. You will also be responsible for building and scaling the Enterprise Technology Program Management Organization.
