Program Manager- Transformation Lead

Description
Role Overview
Program Manager - Transformation Lead to drive large-scale business and IT transformation initiatives across the organization.
This is a leadership role that sits at the intersection of business and technology. The successful candidate will be responsible for aligning business objectives with IT execution while leading complex, enterprise-wide programs.

The role will initially focus on building alignment with the business and driving adoption, before transitioning deeper into IT execution and AI-driven initiatives.

Comfortable overseeing IT delivery teams and guiding project managers
Experienced working in manufacturing environments at scale (aerospace not required)
Capable of working across multiple domains, including Robotics and Geo-Intelligence
Skilled at gaining stakeholder buy-in and driving change across the organization
The ideal hire will be someone who can operate as both a business and IT leader. Pure business PMs will not be sufficient.
