About The Position

Arcadis is seeking a Senior Program Manager with a proven track record of delivering enterprise-level digital solutions to lead transformative, asset management-led, and digitally enabled modernization programs. Within the Digital Intelligence Practice, this role partners with major transportation and infrastructure organizations to modernize enterprise platforms, implement EAM, ERP, and EDA solutions, and create sustainable, data-driven continuous improvement. The role combines deep industry knowledge with advanced digital capabilities to improve performance across the asset lifecycle.

The Senior Program Manager will shape program direction, manage risk and performance, and build high-performing teams to deliver lasting digital impact and transformation. This is a high-visibility, enterprise-level leadership role at the forefront of digital asset management transformation, operating at the critical interface between senior clients, technical delivery teams, PMO governance, and external partners. It offers the opportunity to shape transformational initiatives, influence commercial outcomes, drive innovation, and build inspiring teams in a fast-paced environment. This role is a chance to be a visible change leader, delivering tangible business value and reinforcing Arcadis's reputation for excellence in enterprise digital delivery.
