And whoever we're with, whatever we're doing, we always make it real. Position Summary As part of our continued business transformation, ofi is seeking a Program Manager to join our Project Management Office (PMO). This is a highly visible, strategic role responsible for leading and delivering a portfolio of cross-functional initiatives that drive operational excellence and business growth. You will serve as the central orchestrator for large-scale programs, ensuring alignment across business functions, regions, and leadership levels. This includes owning the end-to-end program lifecycle-from strategic planning and stakeholder alignment to execution, monitoring, and successful delivery of business outcomes. The Program Manager will act as a key liaison between technical teams, business units, and executive sponsors-balancing priorities, resolving issues, and maintaining clear visibility into progress, risks, and dependencies. The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a dynamic, matrixed environment and brings strong program governance, leadership, and communication skills. Position Responsibilities Portfolio Leadership : Provide overall accountability and leadership for a regional portfolio of projects, ensuring strategic alignment and delivery excellence. Program Planning & Execution : Develop, maintain, and execute comprehensive program plans, including scope, milestones, dependencies, and risk mitigation strategies. Cross-Functional Orchestration : Partner with engineering, manufacturing, quality, planning, finance, HR, and legal teams to drive alignment and ensure smooth execution across all functions. Governance & Reporting : Establish and maintain structured project governance processes-conducting regular program reviews, executive updates, and performance tracking against key milestones and KPIs. Risk & Issue Management : Build and implement a robust risk management framework to identify, monitor, and proactively mitigate risks before they impact timelines or outcomes. Financial Management : Oversee program budgets, build bottoms-up forecasts, manage capital expenditures, and ensure adherence to cost and schedule commitments. Change Management : Promote a "preventive rather than corrective" mindset-instilling a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and proactive problem-solving across project teams. Stakeholder Engagement : Communicate effectively with executive sponsors, steering committees, and cross-functional teams-providing transparent insights, escalation options, and strategic recommendations. Performance Optimization : Continuously evaluate and enhance program management methodologies, tools, and best practices to strengthen PMO maturity and operational efficiency. Team Development : Mentor and guide project team members, fostering collaboration, capability growth, and engagement within a high-performance culture. Position Requirements Bachelor's degree in Process Engineering, Operations, Industrial Management, or related field (advanced degree preferred). 5-8 years of experience leading complex, cross-functional programs within a manufacturing or industrial environment. Proven track record of delivering large-scale initiatives on time, within budget, and with measurable business impact. Strong financial acumen-experience building and tracking project budgets, CapEx investments, and ROI-based business cases. Demonstrated leadership and influence skills, with the ability to engage effectively at all organizational levels, including senior management. Exceptional communication, presentation, and stakeholder management abilities; skilled in facilitating meetings and driving alignment among diverse teams. PMP certification or equivalent program management training preferred. ofi provides employees with a comprehensive & competitive benefits package that is designed to support your career, health, and future. A Rewarding Career Awaits! The pay for this role ranges from $105,000 - $140,000 annually and is based on the position responsibilities and geographic location.

Comprehensive & Affordable Benefits : Coverage for you (and your eligible dependents) with plans designed for peace of mind and savings for the future. A Culture of Well-being : Paid Volunteer time off, access to events, resources, and learning opportunities that inspire a physical, social, emotional, and financial well-being for you and your family. Family Support : Paid parental leave, Fertility benefits and lactation support, including milk shipping for traveling employees.
