• Manage master program plans, workstream sequencing, dependency management, and tracking against TSA exit milestones for IT separation from Charles River Laboratories
• Drive program governance: steering committee cadence, budget tracking, and status reporting to the CIO and executive leadership
• Identify and track risks and issues across the program, escalating promptly to the CIO with clear options and recommendations
• Run the SAP ERP implementation workstream: manage project deliverables, milestones, schedule, budget, risk, and issue tracking, while the CIO owns the SAP SI relationship and implementation decisions
• Provide project management coverage and coordination for the HRIS implementation, alongside supporting Salesforce and UKG work as needed
• Partner with business process owners and Quality stakeholders to track that system implementations progress against required future-state process designs and GxP validation milestones
• Track system integrator and implementation partner performance against agreed scope, timeline, budget, and quality within the program plan, reporting performance clearly to the CIO
• Coordinate across multiple SIs and implementation partners working in parallel, flagging integration points, conflicts, and delivery risks to the CIO
• Bring working knowledge of CDMO operations and the regulatory considerations (GxP, validation) that intersect with IT and ERP program work
• Partner with Quality and manufacturing operations stakeholders to ensure IT separation and ERP plans account for validated system and regulatory requirements
• Serve as a key point of accountability to the CIO for IT transition and technology program status, risk, budget, and constraints
• Communicate program status clearly and objectively to executive leadership and stakeholders, distinct from making technology or vendor decisions
• Build strong working relationships across functional leaders (Finance, Supply Chain, HR, Quality, Operations) whose workstreams intersect with the program

Skills

• 10+ years of program/project management experience, including direct experience leading IT carve-out, divestiture, or major transformation programs
• Experience running or playing a senior role in a Transition Management Office (TMO) or similar large-scale separation program
• ERP implementation experience required, specifically deep, hands-on SAP implementation and management experience within a life sciences CDMO environment , supported by an understanding of ERP implementation milestones
• Strong classic PMO skills: governance, RAID management, milestone and budget tracking, executive reporting
• Strong dependency management skills, with experience identifying and resolving cross-program and cross-workstream dependencies before they become blockers
• Experience tracking and reporting on system integrator performance within a program management office, distinct from owning vendor commercial relationships
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to translate technical program status into clear guidance for executives, functional leaders, and delivery teams
• Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
• Experience with Quality Management Systems (QMS) integration alongside CDMO SAP experience as a strong match
• Experience with Salesforce and UKG (or comparable HRIS/payroll platforms) a strong plus
• Experience in a CDMO, life sciences, pharma, or other regulated manufacturing environment strongly preferred; familiarity with GxP and validated systems a plus
