Role Description As a Program Manager in Business Operations at Gridware, you'll lead company-wide initiatives spanning growth, field operations, and product and device operations.. You'll bring structure to ambiguous, high-stakes work by aligning stakeholders, sequencing the work, and keeping leadership clear on progress, risks, and decisions.

Responsibilites
- Own end-to-end execution of cross-functional programs, from scoping through delivery and handoff.
- Define program scope, milestones, owners, and success criteria, and keep them current as priorities shift.
- Drive a portfolio of strategic programs across growth, field operations, and product lifecycle.
- Identify risks and dependencies early, surface trade-offs to decision-makers, and unblock teams.
- Turn what we learn from each program into repeatable playbooks, processes, and tools the company can reuse.
- Build clear program visibility, including dashboards, status reporting, and executive updates, so leadership always knows where things stand.
Required Skills
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience in program management, business operations, strategy and operations, or a related cross-functional role.
- Proven track record of leading multi-stakeholder programs from ambiguity to delivery in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
- Strong planning, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity into clear plans and concise recommendations.
- Comfort working with field, hardware, and technical teams, and technical leaders.
- Ability to build structure and process where none exists yet.
