This highly strategic, cross-functional program will deliver a unified product classification framework that enhances internal alignment, governance, and decision-making across Client's global product ecosystem.

Develop and drive program governance, structure, timelines, and performance metrics to ensure successful delivery.
Collaborate with Product Management, Technology, Strategy, and Go-to-Market teams to ensure alignment with Client's product architecture and business priorities.
Design and execute change management strategies to support taxonomy adoption and long-term integration across the organization.
Build and manage detailed communications plans, including executive presentations, stakeholder updates, and enablement materials.
Facilitate cross-functional working sessions, steering committees, and decision-making forums.
Identify, track, and mitigate risks and interdependencies to keep the program on track and aligned with strategic goals.
Basic Qualifications
7+ years of relevant experience, including time spent at a top-tier strategy consulting firm (e.g., BCG, McKinsey, Bain) or in a corporate strategy/enterprise PMO within a large technology or payments company.
Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale, complex programs with cross-functional impact and executive visibility.
Familiarity with product management practices, including product lifecycle, portfolio governance, and classification systems.
Proven experience in stakeholder engagement, strategic communication, and influencing at all levels of an organization.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and structured thinking skills.
Experience driving change management and cultural adoption in a corporate environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Background in product strategy, product operations, or experience implementing product frameworks (e.g., taxonomy, architecture, standardization).
