Overview of the Role

We are looking for a highly accomplished and experienced Strategic Program Manager to join our Strategy team within the Learning and Enablement organization. This is a high-impact role for a proven strategic thinker who can drive complex, cross-functional programs from concept to global delivery.

You will manage and execute a portfolio of the organization's highest strategic priority initiatives, with a significant focus on Go-to-Market (GTM) enablement and large-scale organizational transformation. You will serve as the primary strategic partner for senior stakeholders, translating executive objectives into clear, measurable, and actionable global plans. Success in this role requires a bias for action, exceptional structured problem-solving skills, and the ability to influence without direct authority.

Responsibilities
  • Strategic Design & POV Development:
    Design the foundational strategy and develop clear, defensible points of view (POVs) for high-priority executive initiatives, framing the problem, defining success criteria, and charting the long-term path for global execution.

  • Program Design and Management:
    Own the end-to-end design, planning, and execution management of complex, multi-year strategic programs focused on operational transformation and critical GTM enablement for the global sales organization.

  • Stakeholder Alignment and Partnership:
    Serve as a trusted strategic partner to Leaders across functional groups. You will be responsible for connecting the dots across disparate initiatives and securing cross-functional alignment on program objectives and milestones.

  • Organizational Change Execution:
    Design, lead, and execute robust change management strategies necessary for the successful adoption of new operating models and strategic capabilities across the global organization.

  • Strategic Communication:
    Translate executive-level strategies and complex program details into clear, compelling narratives and presentations suitable for senior internal audiences, driving clarity and commitment across teams.

  • Data-Driven Accountability:
    Implement and manage the governance framework for your program portfolio, leveraging data and analytics to track key metrics, measure tangible business impact, and continuously optimize program effectiveness.

Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of experience in strategy consulting, business transformation, or leading a highly strategic Program Management Office (PMO) in a global setting.

  • Proven track record of independently designing, managing, and delivering complex, enterprise-level strategic programs with a global scope.

  • Significant experience with GTM functions and sales enablement, demonstrating an understanding of how capability and readiness programs translate into sales performance.

  • Exceptional Strategic Thinking and Structured Problem Solving:
    The ability to take a highly ambiguous, high-level business challenge and structure it into a clear, actionable program roadmap.

  • Strong Senior-Level Communication and Influencing

    Skills:

    Ability to effectively manage and influence senior leaders distilling complex topics into clear decision points and compelling rationales.

  • Bias for Action and Execution Focus:
    Proven ability to thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and move with urgency from strategy definition to precise, high-quality execution.

  • Data and Impact Measurement:
    Experience setting up program KPIs, establishing governance, and presenting the measurable Return on Investment (ROI) and business impact of strategic initiatives.
