About The Position

The Reinvention Program Manager is the operational backbone of the AI Transformation Office. This role keeps the program running with discipline, visibility, and momentum — managing communications, milestone tracking, portfolio reporting, and operating cadence across all workstreams. This is not a traditional PMO role — it is an AI-enabled program manager who uses automation to do what once required a team.

At least 5 years of combined experience in program or project management at a top-tier consulting firm or in a complex enterprise delivery environment, with demonstrated experience managing multi-workstream programs from initiation through completion.
A proven track record designing and maintaining program operating rhythms — including cadence calls, status reporting, risk logs, and budget tracking — for senior executive audiences.
Experience leveraging AI-powered project management and automation tools to improve program visibility and reduce manual effort.
Strong executive-ready written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex program status into clear, decision-ready materials.
Experience coordinating across multidisciplinary teams including consultants, technologists, and change practitioners.
Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as client and business needs require.

MBA or advanced degree in a relevant discipline.
PMP, Agile/Scrum (CSM, SAFe), or equivalent program management certification.
Experience managing AI-enabled transformation programs or enterprise change initiatives in Life Sciences.
Familiarity with AI agent orchestration tools for program reporting, status automation, or backlog management.
Track record at a top-tier consulting firm managing large-scale transformation program delivery across multiple simultaneous workstreams.
