Business Senior Project and Program Manager

Job Summary

Are you ready to make your mark and build something from the ground up? The Business Senior Project and Program Manager will be the first dedicated project manager for our Enterprise Legal Department, offering a rare opportunity to shape how Legal supports and drives business strategy across the company.

In this high-impact role, you'll lead the planning and execution of complex, cross-functional, and often confidential initiatives that touch nearly every corner of the enterprise. You'll work independently and collaboratively-partnering with senior leaders, legal professionals, and business teams-to turn ideas into outcomes.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Pioneer a New Function - Help define how project management shows up in Legal and set the foundation for long-term success.
• See the Big Picture - Contribute to enterprise-level initiatives that few get to see from start to finish.
• Grow Your Strategic Muscle - Gain exposure to legal, operational, and enterprise priorities, sharpening skills that transfer across business areas and career paths.
• Make It Happen - Drive full project lifecycle, from shaping scope and budget to aligning stakeholders and delivering real results.

We're looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, complexity, values collaboration, and can confidently navigate both the big picture and the fine details. If you're energized by solving problems, building relationships, continuous improvement, and creating something new, we'd like to hear from you.
