Full description
Are you an experienced Program Manager who knows how to turn ambitious IT strategies into tangible business results? Do you thrive in complex, international environments where multiple workstreams, countries, senior stakeholders and external partners need to move in the same direction?
At Mediq, we are looking for a Program Manager IT to lead the end-to-end delivery of major strategic IT programs across our international organization. You will provide the leadership and structure needed to turn strategic ambition into phased, governed and measurable business value.
This is a senior Group IT role in which you operate at the intersection of technology, business and transformation. You report to the VP IT and lead multidisciplinary program teams in a matrix organization.
Your impact at Mediq
Mediq operates in an international and evolving IT landscape. Delivering major transformation programs successfully requires more than excellent project management. It requires someone who can connect strategy to execution, create alignment across countries and functions and maintain momentum when priorities, dependencies and interests compete.
As Program Manager IT, you take end-to-end ownership of major IT programs. You bring together business sponsors, IT teams, workstream leads and external partners and ensure everyone is working towards the same outcomes.
You manage scope, budget, risks and dependencies, but your ultimate focus is on value: ensuring that every phase of the program delivers tangible business benefits.
What will you do?
You will lead complex, multi-workstream IT programs from initiation and mobilization through implementation, handover and benefits realization.
Your key responsibilities include:
- Defining and maintaining the integrated program plan, roadmap, phases and milestones across all workstreams.
- Leading day-to-day program delivery and managing the critical path, dependencies and sequencing between workstreams.
- Structuring programs around phased delivery, ensuring tangible business value is realized throughout the program rather than only at the end.
- Managing program budgets, forecasts and cost control and safeguarding the underlying business case.
- Ensuring benefits are clearly defined, tracked and ultimately realized.
- Proactively identifying and managing risks, issues, bottlenecks and escalations.
- Acting as the primary point of contact for the Senior Responsible Owner, business sponsors and Program Board.
- Aligning senior business and IT stakeholders across countries and functions on scope, priorities and decisions.
