AHEAD's Enterprise Transformation Office (ETO) is chartered with delivering on AHEAD's most strategic enterprise initiatives, or “Big Bets” — the critical, cross-functional programs that enable our long-term vision. Today, this includes large-scale transformation efforts such as expanding AHEAD into new international markets, transforming our portfolio and internal ways of working with AI, post-acquisition integration, and more.
The Senior Manager, Enterprise Transformation will play a critical role in supporting execution of these Big Bets. Rather than owning a single initiative directly, this role partners closely with one or more ETO Transformation Leads, providing dedicated program support across one or more strategic initiatives — including, when applicable, post-acquisition integration efforts — to help ensure plans stay on track, risks are managed, and stakeholders remain aligned. This is a high-visibility, high-impact opportunity for a transformation-minded professional to build the experience and track record needed to drive transformation at scale. Success in this role looks like consistent stakeholder alignment, clear milestone progress, and demonstrated program impact across assigned initiatives.

- Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders to keep initiatives moving and priorities aligned.
- Help Transformation Leads bring clarity to ambiguous or competing priorities across their initiatives.

- Support post-acquisition integration planning and execution when aligned to that work.
- Help drive adoption of consistent transformation practices and tools across the Enterprise Transformation Office.
- Build strong working relationships with stakeholders at all levels, fostering collaboration and trust.
- Flex support across multiple Transformation Leads or initiatives as priorities shift, gaining broad exposure to AHEAD's strategic portfolio.
- Other job duties as assigned.
Education and Experience
- Minimum Required – Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, or related field; 3+ years of experience in enterprise transformation, program/project management, strategy consulting, or related roles within complex organizations.
- Preferred – Experience supporting corporate development activities, including integration planning and execution; certification in project management or change management (e.g., PMP, Prosci).
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities
- Strong program/project management skills, with the ability to organize, prioritize, and drive multiple workstreams simultaneously.
- Solid analytical and problem-solving skills; able to translate ambiguous priorities into structured plans and actionable next steps.
- Familiarity with organizational change management methodologies and tools.
- Effective communicator, comfortable preparing and presenting updates to senior leaders.
- Collaborative, team-oriented mindset with the ability to build trust and influence across functions without direct authority.
- Adaptable and resourceful; thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can flex across multiple initiatives or leaders.
