Senior Manager, Enterprise Program Management, Enterprise Transformation Management Office (ETMO)

Location: Princeton, NJ (Hybrid)
Reports To: Director, Enterprise Program Management – ETMO
Department: Enterprise Transformation Management Office (ETMO)

Position Summary:

The Senior Manager, Enterprise Program Management (EPM) is responsible for the end‑to‑end execution of Enterprise Priority (EP) programs and projects within the Enterprise Transformation Management Office (ETMO) operating model. This role translates enterprise strategy, standards, and governance into disciplined, predictable delivery across a diverse portfolio of initiatives (e.g., Commercial Operations, Quality, Regulatory, Supply Chain, Business Process Optimization (BPO) efforts). The Senior Manager ensures strong cross‑functional alignment, effective risk and dependency management, and measurable value realization at the enterprise level.

This is a high‑impact role suited for a highly motivated, driven, and proactive leader. ETMO operates across three interconnected pillars—Governance, EPM, and BPO—and functions with lean teams. As such, this role requires an individual who is comfortable owning and driving critical enterprise initiatives, leading through ambiguity, and advancing a continuous improvement mindset and culture across the organization. Success in this role requires strong program management expertise, the ability to drive timely decision‑making, proactively manage risks, and effectively lead complex, cross‑functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

Program Mobilization & Planning:

• Lead enterprise programs and projects by clearly defining scope, outcomes, and success metrics, and establishing appropriate program/project governance and operating cadence.
• Develop and maintain integrated project plans, including critical path analysis and dependency mapping, ensuring strong cross‑functional coordination and alignment.
• Establish and maintain core program management artifacts—including RAID logs, decision logs, benefits realization plans, and Lean Six Sigma initiative frameworks—in alignment with ETMO standards and templates.
• Confirm business ownership and executive sponsorship, clearly define roles and responsibilities (e.g., using DICE framework), and establish effective escalation and decision‑making paths.

Execution Leadership & Delivery Discipline:

• Lead day‑to‑day execution of complex, cross‑functional enterprise programs, driving accountability for milestones, deliverables, and clearly defined acceptance criteria.
• Demonstrate strong executive presence and influence, effectively establishing a rhythm with, and engaging senior stakeholders and communicating program status, risks, issues, and recommendations with clarity, credibility, and authority.
• Apply and reinforce enterprise governance standards, including 4‑Blockers, portfolio bowler dashboards, and readiness for monthly executive and ELT‑level reviews.
• Maintain decision‑ready program reporting, proactively surfacing risks and issues with well‑articulated options, trade‑offs, and recommendations to enable timely leadership decisions.
• Ensure program execution adheres to applicable regulatory, quality, and compliance requirements, partnering with functional experts as needed to mitigate risk and maintain enterprise standards.

Resource, Capacity & Financial Stewardship:

• Partner with ETMO resourcing and functional leaders to translate enterprise demand into executable capacity plans, securing the skills and roles required for successful program delivery.
• Develop and maintain resource and capacity plans across the program lifecycle, continuously assessing utilization and adjusting staffing, sequencing, or scope to address changing priorities and constraints.
• Proactively identify and manage enterprise resource constraints and interdependencies, recommending trade‑offs and mitigation strategies to maintain delivery commitments.
• Develop, manage, and track program budgets and forecasts, ensuring financial discipline and transparency throughout execution.
• Support funding change requests and business cases by providing data‑driven analysis, impact assessments, and clear recommendations to enable timely leadership decisions.

Risk, Dependency & Scenario Management:

• Proactively identify and manage cross‑program risks, interdependencies, and systemic constraints, leveraging scenario and what‑if analyses to assess schedule, resource, and prioritization impacts.
• Lead the development and execution of mitigation and contingency strategies, monitoring effectiveness and residual risk throughout the program lifecycle.
• Escalate enterprise‑level risks and constraints with data‑backed insights, clearly articulated options, and recommended trade‑offs to enable timely, informed leadership decisions.

Change Management, Adoption & Stabilization:

• Define and execute comprehensive change strategies, including stakeholder mapping, communications, training approaches, and adoption KPIs, in close partnership with business and functional owners.
• Establish and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), process maps, controls, and performance dashboards, ensuring clear handoff and long‑term sustainment with accountable business ownership.
• Track post‑go‑live stability and performance (e.g., error and rework rates, cycle time, throughput) and validate benefits realization at 30/60/90/180‑day intervals, driving corrective actions as needed.

Project Health Assessments (Execution):

• Execute Project Health Assessments (PHAs) for all Enterprise Priority programs and projects using ETMO‑defined scoring criteria, conducting interviews and evidence‑based reviews with delivery teams.
• Synthesize and communicate preliminary findings to Governance & Oversight to support enterprise‑level analysis, insights, and continuous improvement actions.
• Partner with project and program managers to address assessment findings through targeted action plans, formal training interventions, and ad hoc coaching to improve delivery performance.

PM Training Delivery & Coaching:

• Facilitate enterprise project and program management training sessions aligned to ETMO standards and governance, tailoring delivery to audience needs and maturity levels.
• Provide one-on-one coaching to project and program managers, reinforcing consistent adoption of enterprise standards, templates, tools, and governance expectations during live execution.

BPO — Enterprise Execution (High-Level):

• Lead execution of enterprise‑prioritized business process optimization initiatives, applying Lean Six Sigma methodologies and ETMO delivery standards to drive measurable improvements in quality, cost, cycle time, and compliance.
• Guide cross‑functional teams through the full DMAIC lifecycle—from problem definition and baseline measurement through root‑cause analysis, solution design/piloting, control planning, and sustainment—remediating process issues and locking in gains with clear operating controls and ownership.
• Apply Lean and continuous improvement principles, where appropriate, ensuring outcome measures related to quality, cost, cycle time, and compliance are clearly defined and achieved.
• Support alignment across ETMO teams (Governance & Oversight, EPM, and BPO) by incorporating continuous feedback and execution insights to improve enterprise delivery effectiveness.

Tooling, Data & Continuous Improvement:

• Leverage OnePlan and related enterprise platforms for planning, resourcing, time tracking, and reporting, driving high adoption and strong data quality across programs.
• Capture lessons learned and retrospective insights, contributing to enterprise playbooks, templates, and the ETMO intranet knowledge base.
• Recommend tooling and reporting enhancements (e.g., OnePlan configurations, dashboards) based on hands‑on execution experience and evolving enterprise needs.

Workshops & Enablement:
