DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a self-starter to join the Global Road Safety Risk Management team as a Senior Program Manager leading the global Safety Management System (DriveSMS) program. This role is responsible to the accountable executive for providing guidance and direction for the planning, implementation and operation of the organization’s safety management system (SMS). The Program Manager provides SMS-related services to the certificated, non-certificated and third-party areas of the organization that are included in the SMS and may have delegated responsibilities on behalf of persons holding positions. This role requires scoping large projects, managing project timelines, identifying safety gaps, and communicating to senior management on safety risks. Cross-team coordination, project management, executive presentation skills, a penchant for process improvement, and a proven history of delivering results are essential for success. A bias for action and comfort in dealing with ambiguity are a must. Often times it will not be clear how we will reach our end goal; you will be expected to help carve a path by taking risks and be willing to try new things, fail fast then iterate. Strong analytics and safety experience will be valued in an applicant.
