About the role

  • As the Program Manager for Project Meridian, you will be the operational engine behind a high-priority, enterprise-wide security program - turning strategy into disciplined, on-time delivery across many concurrent workstreams.
  • You are an experienced program manager who communicates with clarity at every level, navigates competing priorities with structure and calm, and is at your best coordinating complex work across many teams.
  • The scope is broad and the pace is fast, and success depends on rigorous program management.

Responsibilities

  • Establish and run the program operating model - decision rights (RACI) across workstream owners and partner teams, a defined escalation ladder with target resolution times, and a single source of truth for status.
  • Build and maintain the integrated roadmap, milestone plan, and RAID log (risks, actions, issues, decisions/dependencies), with a consistent, right-sized reporting cadence (async-first; every recurring meeting justified).
  • Manage a dedicated team of specialist consultants - define scope, deliverables, and timelines; own SOWs in partnership with Sourcing/Vendor Management; hold partners accountable to quality, schedule, and budget; and ensure the consultant layer reduces, not adds, load on delivery teams.
  • Develop and execute a proactive communication strategy for Information Security leadership, cross-functional stakeholders, and the Executive Leadership Team.
  • Prepare and deliver program reporting and briefings for executive leadership and, in partnership with the CISO, for Federal Regulators and the Board of Directors - presenting program status, milestones, and delivery outcomes. (Characterization of security risk posture and any risk-acceptance decisions remain with the CISO and accountable workstream owners.)
  • Perform other duties and/or special projects as assigned
  • This role coordinates, enables, and reports; it does not own security risk decisions, risk acceptance, control design, or technical remediation approaches - these remain with the accountable workstream leaders and the CISO.
  • Help Synchrony build one of the most resilient information security programs in financial services.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 8+ years of program/project management experience
  • in lieu of a degree, 12+ years of relevant program/project management experience.
  • Proven track record managing large, complex, cross-functional programs with multiple concurrent workstreams and enterprise scope.
  • Experience delivering in financial services, banking, or another highly regulated industry - including familiarity with control and risk frameworks, audit evidence, and regulatory expectations.
  • Experience with Agile and Scaled Agile (SAFe) delivery and the tools delivery teams use day-to-day (e.g., Jira / Azure DevOps).
  • Exceptional organization and prioritization, with the ability to keep a high volume of concurrent, complex work on track.
  • Experience managing external consultants/vendors and the associated SOWs and deliverables.
  • Comfort operating amid complexity and ambiguity
  • Ability and flexibility to travel for business as required
  • You must be 18 years or older

Compensation
