Senior Technical Program Manager

Portfolio Integration & Strategic Initiatives Connect distinct bodies of work across MSEE into an integrated portfolio, making priorities, dependencies, trade-offs, risks, gaps, and resource implications visible to leadership. Partner with leaders across MSEC to establish shared portfolio priorities, clarify ownership, and identify where decisions or intervention are needed to keep work moving. Directly own and drive a selected set of high-priority, cross-cutting strategic initiatives, particularly where execution spans multiple teams or requires someone to bring the pieces together. Move complex initiatives from ambiguity to execution by defining outcomes, aligning stakeholders, establishing an execution path, and driving commitments through closure. Surface conflicts and trade-offs early, develop clear recommendations, and escalate decisions at the appropriate leadership level. Portfolio Governance & Decision Management Establish and run the mechanisms through which MSEC governs its integrated portfolio, with clear accountability, decision rights, operating cadence, escalation paths, commitment tracking, and closure. Design and evolve the end-to-end rhythm of business, including annual strategy and planning, quarterly business reviews, monthly leadership team reviews, and executive decision forums. Bring together the evidence, trade-offs, recommendations, and stakeholders required to make decisions at the right level. Translate leadership decisions into clear actions, owners, milestones, and outcomes, and drive commitments through closure. Define MSEC leadership scorecards and North Star metrics in partnership with Economics, Analytics & Insights and Finance, spanning business health, execution, workforce, capacity, and COGS performance. Establish a consistent operating cadence across MSEC divisions so the organization operates as a predictable, connected system. AI-Native Operations, Data & Automation Define the vision for an AI-native operating system, embedding agents and automation into planning, executive reporting, portfolio monitoring, capacity management, and action tracking. Drive early-warning mechanisms, including anomaly detection on capacity spend and leading indicators of portfolio and execution risk, so leaders can act before issues escalate.

What Success Looks Like MSEC operates with an integrated view of its strategic portfolio, with priorities, dependencies, risks, gaps, and trade-offs visible and actively managed across organizational boundaries. High-priority, cross-cutting initiatives move from ambiguity to execution with clear ownership, aligned stakeholders, timely decisions, and measurable outcomes. One trusted MSEC scorecard provides timely visibility into business health, execution, portfolio performance, capacity, and COGS across divisions. Capacity investment is planned against roadmap and business priorities on a multi-year horizon, reducing surprises, escalations, and stranded capacity. AI-native operating mechanisms materially reduce manual reporting and coordination and become a model that can be adopted beyond MSEC.
