• Manage multiple Agile delivery teams working across development, DevOps, QA, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data
• Facilitate program-level Agile ceremonies (PI planning, release planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives)
• Drive API strategy, data integration, and system interoperability initiatives
• Coordinate data migration, codebase consolidation, environment alignment, and platform standardization
• Establish governance structure, executive reporting cadence, and program KPIs
• Manage risks, interdependencies, and cross-functional integration challenges
• Oversee vendor partners, system integrators, and offshore/onshore development teams as applicable
• Align with enterprise architecture and security teams to ensure compliance and scalability

Qualifications

• 10+ years of IT Program or Project Management experience
• Proven leadership of application integration programs during mergers or acquisitions

• Experience managing complex technical workstreams including APIs, microservices, data services, and cloud-native applications
• Strong stakeholder management skills across IT and business leadership
• Experience managing budgets, resource plans, and multi-team delivery schedules
• Willingness and ability to travel to Houston, Chicago, Green Bay, and Baltimore
