Senior Transformation Portfolio Manager

If you take this role, here's what will be true 12 months from now

Product & Technology and the business operate based on a single, transparent transformation portfolio. Strategic priorities are clear, governance enables faster decision-making rather than creating bureaucracy, and leaders have complete visibility into progress, risks, and dependencies. Regional teams are prepared before every major release because adoption and implementation readiness are built into the delivery process from the start.

The Transformation Office has evolved into a scalable capability with consistent governance, methodology, tools, and ways of working that support transformation across the organization.

The opportunity

This role is at the heart of HeadFirst's Global Transformation Office.

Your top priority is to coordinate the Product & Technology transformation portfolio, aligning business priorities, product roadmaps, delivery teams, regional implementation, and measurable business outcomes into a single, integrated transformation approach.

In addition, you'll help build the Transformation Office itself by developing scalable governance, portfolio management practices, methodologies, and tools that will support future strategic initiatives across the organization.

This is more than just a traditional Program Manager or PMO role. You'll help shape how transformation is prioritized, governed, executed, and adopted across HeadFirst.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Oversee the Product & Technology Transformation portfolio and ensure end-to-end visibility across strategic initiatives.

• Align business priorities, product roadmaps, delivery planning, regional implementation, and measurable business value.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve portfolio governance, decision-making forums, prioritization processes, and executive reporting.

• Drive portfolio visibility through RAID management, dependency management, delivery oversight, and value tracking.

• Build alignment across Product, Technology, Operations, and regional leadership teams.

• Establish implementation readiness and adoption capabilities, including communications, training, regional readiness, and feedback mechanisms, as appropriate.

• Help establish scalable Transformation Office methodologies, standards, governance, and best practices.

• Improve portfolio management through AI, automation, and modern delivery tools.

What Makes You Successful

You combine strategic thinking with exceptional discipline in execution. You know how to create structure without unnecessary bureaucracy and are comfortable influencing senior stakeholders while keeping diverse teams aligned around shared goals.

Nice to have

• Prosci, ADKAR, PRINCE2, MSP, or comparable certifications.

• Experience applying AI to portfolio management, governance, or workflow optimization.

• Experience working within complex international or matrix organizations.

Why You'll Want This Role

You'll help shape how a leading global service provider drives transformation.

Working directly with senior leaders across Product, Technology, and the business, you'll help shape priorities, governance, delivery, and organizational adoption. You won't just drive transformation; you'll help build the capabilities that enable future transformation across the organization.
