The Role

As a Program Manager within the Finance PMO & Enablement team, you will own the end-to-end delivery of Finance transformation programs of small to medium scale and complexity. You'll manage program plans, coordinate cross-functional workstreams, maintain governance cadences, and keep stakeholders aligned — partnering closely with Business Analysts, IT, Finance functional leads, and external vendors to drive programs from initiation through to close.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who is highly organised, relationship-driven, and energised by getting things across the line in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. You don't just track tasks — you take ownership, solve problems, and make things happen.

What You'll Do

Own Program Delivery

• Develop and maintain comprehensive program plans, including critical path, milestones, dependencies, resource allocation, and risk and issue logs (RAID)
• Monitor program progress against plan; proactively identify and resolve blockers, escalating where needed
• Ensure programs are delivered in alignment with the Finance PMO's governance standards, templates, and operating model

Drive Stakeholder Alignment

• Build and maintain strong working relationships with Finance functional leads, IT partners, Business Analysts, and external vendors
• Run effective program governance cadences — steering meetings, status updates, and working group sessions

• Manage competing stakeholder priorities; drive consensus and keep programs moving through disagreement

Manage Requirements & Documentation

• Collaborate with Business Analysts and Finance stakeholders to gather, validate, and document business requirements
• Ensure clear handoff of requirements to IT and vendor teams; track delivery against agreed specifications
• Develop and maintain program documentation — charters, plans, process flows, decision logs, and lessons learned

Support Testing & Adoption

• Coordinate UAT planning and execution in partnership with Business Analysts and Finance functional leads
• Partner with the Change Manager to ensure change and communications activities are integrated into program plans
• Support post-go-live hypercare and program close activities; capture lessons learned and contribute to PMO continuous improvement

Contribute to PMO Operations

• Contribute to Finance PMO intake and portfolio planning processes — providing accurate program data, effort estimates, and capacity inputs
• Adhere to Finance PMO standards and tooling (Smartsheet); keep program data accurate and up to date
• Support the Director, PMO & Portfolio Management in maintaining an accurate view of the Finance program portfolio
