This role owns the journey from validated use case to production-ready tool: identifying high-friction, high-volume workflows, prototyping AI-assisted solutions hands-on (using LLM-based tools, prompt engineering, and low-code/no-code workflow builders), and partnering with engineering teams to scale what works into standardized, compliant global mechanisms. The ideal candidate is comfortable pressure-testing what automation can and cannot do before committing engineering resources, evaluating external AI solutions for ROC applicability, and assessing how ROC-built tools can scale to other teams and business units. Collaborating across tech, operations, and program teams, the Senior Program Manager will standardize tech advancements and drive the adoption of Work Item Management Systems (WIMs) globally. They will monitor program progress, identify risks, and communicate effectively with senior management, providing regular status updates and proposing solutions for challenges encountered.
