Senior Program Manager – Government Transformation

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Minnesota.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the transformation tracking infrastructure for the segment from start to finish, which encompasses initiative and status tracking, ongoing operational rhythms, and event planning, acting as the definitive source of program status for segment leadership.

• Spearhead cross-functional programs from inception through stabilization, converting strategic priorities into detailed plans with defined scope, milestones, and measurable results.

• Establish and manage governance frameworks, including decision-making forums, escalation processes, and tracking of risks/issues, driving resolutions rather than merely highlighting problems.

• Oversee the execution of critical initiatives that span commercial operations, compliance, and organizational changes, closely collaborating with Commercial Excellence, Legal, Finance, and HR to ensure progress and uphold shared commitments.

• Handle the daily operations of intricate transitions involving financial, operational, or personnel aspects, ensuring continuity of work and highlighting decisions that require leadership input.

• Assess program health through status updates, risk assessments, and delivery metrics, supplying executive-level reports for senior stakeholders and proactively identifying risks before they become apparent in other areas.

• Serve as a representative for the Chief of Staff on assigned workstreams, making independent decisions regarding prioritization and escalation.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of progressive experience in program or portfolio management, successfully delivering intricate, cross-functional initiatives within matrixed organizations, with a proven track record of accountability for outcomes.

• Proven experience in developing governance mechanisms, such as risk and issue logs, steering committees, and escalation frameworks, from inception to implementation.

• Outstanding stakeholder management and executive communication abilities, possessing the credibility to engage confidently with senior leadership while holding cross-functional partners accountable without formal authority.

• Ability to operate effectively with minimal supervision, adept at navigating uncertainty and discerning when to escalate issues versus resolving them independently.

• A hands-on approach to execution: equally skilled in designing the operational model and personally driving delivery without a team to delegate tasks to.

• Experience in legal, government contracting, or the compliance sector is advantageous, as is familiarity with FedRAMP, procurement, or public sector sales cycles.

🏝️ Benefits

• Flex My Way is a collection of supportive workplace policies aimed at helping employees balance personal and professional responsibilities, whether it's caring for family, contributing to the community, or taking time to recharge.

• Extensive benefit plans that include flexible vacation options.

• Two company-wide Mental Health Days off.

• Access to the Headspace app for mindfulness and meditation.

• Retirement savings plans.

• Tuition reimbursement opportunities.

• Employee incentive programs.

• Resources available for mental, physical, and financial well-being.
