Alight seeks an execution-focused Program Manager to independently lead complex, cross-functional programs from initiation through implementation, client/business acceptance and stabilization. Programs may span business process change, product and platform capabilities, customer or employee experiences, operational enablement, regulatory commitments or enterprise modernization. The Program Manager connects Business, Product, Engineering, Delivery, Finance and vendors into one executable path and is accountable for the practical delivery system: a credible plan, explicit ownership, managed dependencies, financial control, timely decisions and objective evidence of completion. The role must take initiative, recover off-track work and drive resolution

What you will own

Build and maintain an executable delivery baseline Translate approved objectives, scope and requirements into work packages, delivery sequence, dependencies, milestones, assigned owners, estimates, acceptance measures and relevant lifecycle control points. Connect Product/PDLC, Engineering/SDLC and downstream client/business readiness; challenge missing inputs, contradictory dates and unsupported assumptions before commitments are accepted.

Independently drive cross-functional action Establish and lead working sessions that result in accountable decisions, owners, due dates and measurable outcomes. Follow through to closure; remove impediments or elevate unresolved tradeoffs with recommended next steps rather than escalating routine coordination to leadership.

Manage delivery risks, dependencies and decisions Own actionable RAID, decision, action and change records tied to actual schedule, scope, cost, quality and readiness consequences. Identify risks early, drive mitigation with named owners, diagnose root causes when work slips and maintain realistic recovery alternatives with a recommended path.

Connect business needs through testing, client readiness and acceptance Integrate business outcomes and Product requirements with solution design, build/configuration, vendor deliverables, testing, defect resolution, acceptance, training/change impacts, client or operational readiness, release/deployment and stabilization where applicable. Require agreed exit criteria and evidence-not reported percent complete alone.

Own program financial, scope and capacity discipline Maintain the approved scope and financial baseline, resource assumptions, internal labor and vendor/third-party spend, forecast-to-actual variance and estimate-to-complete. Partner with Finance for accounting treatment and validation while retaining practitioner accountability for the forecast. Drive timely decisions on sequencing, prioritization, scope, capacity, cost or timing tradeoffs before variance threatens committed outcomes.

Provide decision-grade reporting and governance Generate accurate forecasts and concise executive updates from current planning and delivery artifacts. Separate facts, assumptions, options and asks. Make governance forums decision-oriented and ensure that prior decisions produce observable actions.

Enable repeatable centralized execution Use common Program Execution controls, standards and artifacts while adapting the delivery method to the work. Use approved PPM and AI-enabled automation to reduce administrative effort and improve synthesis where appropriate, while personally owning the quality of the plan, forecast, decisions and stakeholder commitments. Maintain knowledge-transfer materials so a program can be transitioned or reassigned without loss of execution continuity.

Required execution deliverables

• Validated program charter or scope baseline, integrated execution plan and delivery roadmap with owners, critical dependencies, key milestones, estimates and acceptance/readiness criteria.

• Current, decision-useful RAID, dependency, issue, action and change records with demonstrated closure and timely escalations.

• Current program financial forecast with labor/resource assumptions, vendor spend, forecast-to-actual variance, estimate-to-complete and documented corrective actions for material variance.

• Traceable progression from approved requirements and Product/Engineering commitments through testing, client/business acceptance, implementation and operational readiness as applicable.

• Concise factual milestone reporting and forward-looking forecast, including corrective plans when dates or assumptions are challenged.

• Completed transition and stabilization handoff with accountable receiving owners and unresolved exceptions tracked.

What you bring

• 7+ years of progressive project/program experience, including independent leadership of complex cross-functional initiatives spanning Business, Product, Technology/Engineering, Delivery and/or external partners.

• Demonstrated ability to take incomplete scope or fragmented team plans and create a realistic, dependency-driven execution baseline without continuous direction.

• Track record of closing blockers, influencing leaders without direct authority and holding stakeholders accountable through practical follow-through and escalation.

• Proven knowledge of risk, issue, action, decision, dependency, change, capacity, financial forecast and milestone management; comfortable challenging optimistic or inconsistent delivery reporting and driving recovery.

• Working understanding of Product/PDLC, Engineering/SDLC, testing, implementation, client/business readiness and acceptance; able to adapt across Agile, waterfall and hybrid approaches without imposing process for its own sake.

Preferred experience

• Experience delivering enterprise technology-enabled change, operational improvements, product launches, customer/client enablement, vendor integrations or regulated initiatives.

• Experience with organizational change, distributed delivery teams and/or portfolio governance; exposure to regulated or client-facing environments is valuable.

• PMP, Agile or equivalent certification supported by successful program delivery.
