Program and Project Leadership

You will oversee major workstreams inside complex programs, supporting planning, scoping, estimating, and execution in close coordination with internal stakeholders and clients. You will help maintain financial and operational control by keeping communication clear, aligning responsibilities, and staying alert to potential risks. You will also contribute to improving team processes by identifying opportunities, capturing lessons learned, and reinforcing best practices.

Budget and Financial Support

This role includes supporting budget tracking and financial reporting by reviewing estimates, spotting differences between planned and actual costs, and sharing financial updates with partners when needed.

Project Management Execution

You will assist with estimates and statements of work using input from subject matter experts, manage workflow changes, and raise issues or blockers as they come up. The position requires a balance of strategic thinking and attention to detail.

Global Hospitality and Sports Programs

You will help manage global event and hospitality programs, including identifying at-risk work early, escalating issues appropriately, and handling change management across end-to-end workflows. You will build project estimates and statements of work from SME input, monitor financial performance for potential overruns, take corrective action when needed, and develop roadmaps and tactical plans. Experience in global event or hospitality programs is preferred.

Teamwork and People Support
