Senior Program Manager - Customer Orchestration

The Opportunity

As a Senior Program Manager within the Analytics Product Suite team, you will serve as a high-impact strategic partner driving the successful execution of cross-functional digital and analytical initiatives across Genentech. Operating a level above individual product management, you will own cross-functional program dependencies across Data, Data Science/Machine Learning (DSML), Content & Omnichannel Product, and business teams. You will lead key enterprise initiatives, such as customer orchestration, ensuring alignment across leadership, mitigating program risks, and guaranteeing on-time delivery with quantifiable business impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead Enterprise Cross-Functional Initiatives: Direct the execution of strategic, multi-product programs like "Customer Orchestration," bridging products across Data, DSML, and commercial teams to create seamless experiences.

• Orchestrate Technical & Program Dependencies: Identify, map, and actively manage complex upstream and downstream dependencies across diverse product suites, ensuring project commitments are met without dropped handoffs.

• Provide Executive-Ready Communication: Synthesize highly complex, granular technical data into clear, objective, and executive-ready briefings, dashboards, and presentations for senior leadership.

• Drive Program Knowledge Management: Establish and maintain centralized, high-quality program documentation and confluence spaces across product suites, ensuring roadmaps, architecture decisions, governance frameworks, and operational guides are clear, up-to-date, and accessible.

• Measure & Foster Stakeholder Awareness: Proactively track stakeholder understanding and sentiment across the enterprise, designing targeted communication rhythms, enablement sessions, and feedback loops to drive transparency, buy-in, and program adoption.

• Proactive Risk Mitigation & Portfolio Health: Continuously assess portfolio health, anticipate cross-team bottlenecks, manage resources/prioritization trade-offs, and resolve roadblocks before they impact delivery timelines.

• Drive Alignment & Facilitation: Lead senior leadership forums, steering committees, and crucial cross-functional conversations to align competing stakeholder priorities and preserve organizational goals.

• Establish Governance & Operating Models: Design and operationalize program execution frameworks, defining clear roles, decision rights, communication rituals, and risk escalation pathways.
