Commercial Program Manager na Armstrong Relocation

SUMMARY:

The Commercial Program Manager is responsible for overseeing a group of related projects, often called a "program," to achieve larger strategic business objectives.

• Establishes program governance, including decision-making processes, reporting structures, and communication channels.
• Monitors overall program progress by tracking the collective progress of all projects, ensuring they are on track to deliver the desired benefits.
• Manages program-level risks and issues that could impact the entire program, not just individual projects.
• Allocates resources across projects by working with Project Managers and functional leads to ensure that resources (people, budget, equipment) are appropriately distributed and optimized.
• Manages program budget and oversees the overall financial health of the program, ensuring efficient spending and value realization.
• Communicates regularly with key stakeholders, providing updates on program status, risks, and strategic direction.
• Resolves conflicts and mediates issues that arise between different projects or teams within the program.
• Focuses on benefits delivery to ensure that the program delivers the intended business benefits and value, not just project outputs.
