About The Position

Reddit is seeking a highly strategic Senior Principal Program Manager to join the GTM Excellence team within Reddit’s GTM Strategy & Operations organization. This role is heavily executive-facing and will operate as a Business Transformation Manager, leading large-scale strategic initiatives. The responsibilities include owning end-to-end processes, transforming methodologies, and evolving systems, data, and products to maximize customer-facing time and create a seamless experience for Reddit advertisers. The ideal candidate will possess strong executive presence, sound judgment, and a deep background in digital media forecasting.

Requirements

• 8-12+ years of experience in strategic program management, business transformation, strategy & operations, or a related field.
• Background in Digital Media companies (experience at a platform + agency is highly preferred).
• Executive communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable influencing C-suite stakeholders (CRO, COO) and acting as a seamless extension of leadership.
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguity and independently structure complex problems into clear recommendations and action plans.
• Experience leading change management initiatives across cross-functional teams, from initial problem framing through implementation and adoption.
• Ability to balance high-level strategic thinking with hands-on execution; this role requires an owner, not just a coordinator.

Nice To Haves

• Strong foundational experience in basic strategy & operations or business operations.
• Expertise in triaging complex issues, conducting root cause analysis, and utilizing competitive intelligence.
• Familiarity with sales tools and technology that improve seller efficiency and productivity, including workflow automation and AI-enabled ways of working.
• Deep Forecasting experience, including a proven track record of managing and transforming forecasting processes and the full RFP-to-invoice lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Support core GTM leadership by managing Reddit's largest OPEX planning cycles, overseeing complex roadmaps, and ensuring decision-ready documents are prepared for monthly engagements with executive leadership, including the CRO and COO.
• Own the end-to-end processes, such as managing and optimizing stages across the buy cycle, including pipeline, forecasting methodologies, campaign planning, credit checks, credit limits, application, and invoicing.
• Act as an extension of senior leadership, engaging heavily with the CRO, COO, and cross-functional senior leaders across Finance, Product, Engineering, Sales, and Data Product to gather buy-in, pressure test ideas, and accelerate execution.
• Break down ambiguous, high-impact opportunities into clear problem statements, develop hypotheses, drive analysis, and identify the highest-impact opportunities to improve how Reddit operates.
• Own work from idea to execution, including rollout planning, stakeholder communication, training, and adoption, navigating change management processes for smooth transitions across sales spaces.
• Evaluate current work processes, identify friction points and root causes, and design simpler, more standardized processes, policies, and ways of working to improve seller productivity and the advertiser experience.
• Define success metrics, track results, gather feedback, and refine processes over time, establishing governance and guardrails where needed to drive consistency without adding unnecessary complexity.
