You will manage complex, dependent workstreams, track value delivery, and ensure long-term strategic alignment across our technology organization.  In addition to Program Management duties this individual will lead a critical, high-visibility organizational restructuring initiative involving offshoring, outsourcing, and organizational redesign.

Key Responsibilities:

·        Lead alignment and decisions among C-suite executives and senior leaders across technology, HR, and Finance.

·        Drive enterprise-wide organizational transformation and the hands-on implementation of new operating models.

·        Directly own talent mapping coordination, selection decision logs, and the tracking/development of updated job descriptions and role profiles to shield the HRBP team from administrative bottlenecks.

·        Coordinate readiness checklists across HR, Legal, Finance, and Communications for each restructuring wave. Support outsourcing/offshoring transitions by tracking vendor milestones and knowledge transfer planning.

·        Execute a comprehensive communications strategy and calendar in partnership with Corporate Communications and OCM, ensuring leaders, managers, and impacted employee populations are fully supported with toolkits, FAQs, and talking points.

Qualifications:
