Program Manager
Our growing company is seeking to hire a Program Manager. The Program Managers oversee the fulfillment of larger organizational and strategic customer goals. They coordinate activities between multiple projects and stakeholders without directly managing them. Instead, they manage the main program, giving detailed attention to program strategy, project delegation, and program implementation. This manager has a large responsibility to ensure that all the team members understand how to work together and coordinate their efforts on the way to a larger goal.
The Program Manager focuses on implementing strategic tasks that align new programs with the organization’s business strategy and goals. Program managers help organizations stay on schedule, on budget, and ultimately on an upward trajectory of sales growth and success.
As a program manager, you’ll analyze your programs with a broad, high-level view—leaving day-to-day project activities to project managers and support staff.
Basically, you can think of yourself as a “meta-project manager,” strategically and simultaneously orchestrating all of a program’s intertwined projects. If you love to multitask, this is the job for you!
The ideal candidate has professional experience in real estate and technology and is excited by complex, open-ended, and real-world building challenges.
