[Remote] Enterprise Program Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. RS&H is one of the nation’s leading architecture, engineering, and consulting firms. They are seeking an experienced Enterprise Program Manager to lead high-priority, complex programs across the organization, focusing on multi-year enterprise technology transformation initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate program governance models, including steering committee cadence, workstream reporting structure, decision rights frameworks, and escalation paths
• Own the program charter and ensure it remains the authoritative reference for scope, objectives, success criteria, and guiding principles
• Prepare for and participate in executive Steering Committees - preparing materials, framing decisions, documenting outcomes, and tracking commitments
• Establish and enforce program management standards across all workstreams covering status reporting, risk management, issue tracking, and change control
• Own the master program schedule, integrating plans from vendors, internal IT, business workstreams, and change management into a single coherent view
• Identify and actively manage cross-workstream dependencies, particularly where sequencing between parallel initiatives creates delivery risk
• Maintain the program's critical path and ensure the organization understands what is on it at all times
• Replan proactively when scope, resources, or external factors shift - not reactively after milestones are missed
• Own the program-level risk register, consolidating inputs from all workstreams into an integrated view assessed for likelihood and business impact
• Drive active mitigation plans and escalate to the Steering Committee when risks exceed program-level tolerance
• Foster a culture where raising risks early is expected and rewarded
• Own the program's scope baseline and formal change control process
• Evaluate all scope change requests for impact on schedule, budget, resources, and interdependent workstreams before presenting options to decision-makers
• Prevent informal scope creep from accumulating outside governance, whether from vendors, internal business teams, or shifting organizational priorities
• Maintain a formal change log ensuring all approved changes are reflected in the master plan and budget
• Own the program budget, tracking actuals across all cost categories: vendor fees, software licensing, internal labor, infrastructure, and contingency
• Deliver regular budget reporting to executive sponsors with variance analysis and forward-looking forecasts
• Proactively flag budget risk before it becomes a budget overrun
• Manage the formal change order process, ensuring scope and cost changes are properly analyzed and authorized
• Coordinate across multiple vendors and implementation partners where programs involve parallel or intersecting workstreams
• Own the connective tissue between workstreams - ensuring decisions made in one workstream are visible to and accounted for by others
• Chair regular cross-workstream integration meetings to surface interdependencies, shared risks, and sequencing conflicts before they cause delays
• Resolve workstream-level conflicts that cannot be resolved within individual workstreams, escalating to the Steering Committee only when necessary
• Serve as the primary operational communicator to executive sponsors - translating program complexity into clear, decision-ready information
• Own the program status report, providing an honest, accurate, and actionable view of program health at all times
• Manage stakeholder expectations actively across finance, operations, sales, IT, and other affected functions
• Bring bad news early with options - executive sponsors are never surprised
• Ensure change management is treated as a core program workstream, not an afterthought
• Partner with Change Management leads to align organizational readiness activities with the program schedule
• Escalate when organizational readiness is lagging behind technical or operational delivery - one of the most common and costly mismatches on large programs
• Establish and run the PMO function as the operational backbone of each program
• Own program-level tools, templates, and repositories to ensure consistent information management across workstreams
• Coordinate resource planning across workstreams, surfacing conflicts and capacity constraints before they impact delivery
• Mentor and develop junior project management professionals, coaching on governance expectations, ways of working, and integrated planning disciplines

Skills

• Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred. Equivalent combinations of education and directly relevant experience will be considered
• 12+ years of program management experience, leading at least one full-lifecycle enterprise change as PM that involved multiple technologies (ERP, CRM, EPM, HCM) of comparable scale
• Demonstrated experience leading programs that span technology delivery, business process, and organizational change simultaneously
• Experience managing vendor and System Integrator relationships, including contract management, change orders, and performance accountability
• Proven ability to build and operate a program governance model from the ground up - not just inherit one
• Program-level budget management experience, including multi-vendor financial oversight
• PMP (Project Management Professional) required
• Background in enterprise technology implementations (ERP, CRM, EPM, or comparable platforms)
• Experience managing multi-system or multi-platform programs where workstreams are interdependent and sequenced
• Prior experience in a professional services or System Integrator environment, providing insight into how implementation partners operate and where they require careful management
• Familiarity with the platform ecosystems most commonly involved in enterprise transformation
• PgMP (Program Management Professional) preferred
• Agile certifications (SAFe, PMI-ACP) a plus
