Own and drive large-scale DTC digital commerce programs from discovery to delivery, aligning product strategy, Agile delivery, and executive stakeholder governance.

  • Coordinate Agile delivery with PI planning and multi-team dependency mapping.
  • Communicate with executives and clients, shaping governance and presentation materials.

Job Description

Requirements

  • 8-10+ years of progressive program management, PMO leadership, and digital product/commerce delivery experience, ideally within a premier digital consultancy, interactive agency, or high-growth D2C product company.
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering direct-to-consumer (DTC) digital commerce platforms, with deep familiarity with user qualification/intake journeys, transaction flows, and backend platform integrations.
  • Strong digital product ownership skillset, including site hierarchy/architecture, journey mapping, backlog grooming, and requirement gathering.

  • Exceptional client-facing leadership and executive communication skills, including the ability to structure compelling presentation decks, lead governance workshops, and manage executive stakeholders.
  • Healthcare, life sciences, or telehealth/digital pharmacy experience is a plus, but not required; deep consumer commerce and digital platform delivery expertise is the primary requirement.
