  • Act as the central orchestration point across BU/GPG leadership, functions, IT/BST, Data, Cybersecurity, and Digital Core teams
  • Drive cross‑functional resource planning, demand alignment, and dependency management across digital initiatives
  • Establish and operate a robust Digital PMO governance framework, including decision‑making, reporting, and risk management
  • Monitor portfolio performance through KPIs, dashboards, and structured reporting, ensuring transparency and effective escalation
  • Continuously improve digital delivery maturity by evolving PMO standards, methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid), and best practices

Your background

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree or MBA strongly preferred
  • 10+ years of progressive project management experience, including 5+ years leading digital project portfolios in large, complex organizations
  • Proven ability to lead through influence in a global, matrixed environment
  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder‑engagement skills across all organizational levels
  • Demonstrated experience delivering complex digital initiatives (e.g., cloud, AI/ML, IoT, enterprise platforms, data analytics)
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to translate business objectives into actionable delivery plans
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and data‑driven decision‑making capabilities
  • Solid knowledge of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid); PMP, PgMP, SAFe, PRINCE2 or equivalent certification is a strong advantage
