About The Position

The Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO) leads G-P's highest-priority, strategic, cross-functional initiatives – the complex, high-visibility programs that don't sit neatly inside any one function. We're intentionally a small, senior team that focuses our resources on programs that are large in scope, span multiple departments, and directly advance G-P's most important corporate goals. As a Sr. Principal Program Manager, you will lead large, ambiguous, cross-functional programs, from executive-level framing down to daily execution, with minimal oversight. You will identify and overcome delivery roadblocks in a complex, cross-functional environment while ensuring alignment with corporate goals, executive timelines, and top-tier quality standards. You will partner directly with functional leaders and executives across the company, act as a force multiplier for cross-functional teams, and bring focus and momentum to G-P's most complex initiatives. Although this is a senior individual-contributor role, the ability to lead through influence is paramount to your success.

Requirements

10+ years leading enterprise-level, cross-functional programs, with a track record of independently driving large, ambiguous initiatives to successful outcomes within a fast-paced environment.
Proven ability to lead through influence, not authority – building trust and accountability with senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and globally diverse team members you don't formally manage.
Mastery in executive communication, possessing the ability to communicate at all levels of the organization with extreme clarity, precision, and diplomatic grace.
A strong bias toward ownership and independent execution; you thrive with real autonomy and ambiguity rather than needing a defined playbook.
Sound business judgment and the ability to quickly get fluent enough in a new functional domain (e.g., Legal, Finance, Revenue) to lead programs within it credibly.
Comfortable in a lean, high-performing team where you do the work directly rather than delegate it.
Proven ability to steer multiple high-priority initiatives simultaneously, seamlessly managing shifting corporate dependencies and deadlines.
Familiarity with AI systems to enhance personal and team productivity.
Experience with standard project/program/portfolio tooling and using AI capabilities to enhance and scale project/program management.
Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Management, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Nice To Haves

Proficiency in the rapidly evolving AI landscape (LLMs, generative AI, agentic frameworks) with a demonstrated ability to integrate these capabilities into practical, future-proof program management strategies.
Experience managing projects / programs with significant AI scope.
Professional certifications such as PMP or PgMP.

Responsibilities

Independently lead the end-to-end lifecycle of large, complex, cross-functional programs from scoping and business case through execution, launch, and post-launch measurement.
Act as a trusted business partner to functional executives and their leadership teams, serving as their go-to contact for EPMO-supported work and as an escalation point when a program needs senior-level intervention.
Stand up and lead cross-functional working teams without formal authority over their members: establishing shared goals, a regular cadence, and clear accountability across departments.
Drive momentum as a force multiplier: set goals for today, this week, and the month ahead; unblock dependencies; keep distributed stakeholders aligned to a single source of truth.
Define macro program scope, objectives, and success criteria; develop comprehensive project plans and provide the authoritative record of program decisions and status.
Communicate program health (scope, schedule, risk, resourcing) clearly and regularly to senior and executive leadership, tailoring the message to the audience.
Facilitate cross-functional workshops to force difficult decisions, then hold the team accountable to the resulting actions.
Contribute to the EPMO team's standards, tools, and best practices for program management, including the adoption of AI capabilities throughout the program lifecycle.
Set the bar for program management excellence company-wide and mentor other program managers, even without formal direct reports.
