Operational resilience is the talk of the town in today’s fast-moving, technologically complex world, and for good reason - uncertainty defines much of the business landscape (shrinking economies, geopolitical turbulence, skill shortages, etc.).
Tech leaders are in the market to restore their sense of positive certainty, and that means hiring the right talent. A good programme director is your company architect, overseeing the entire program – a collection of interconnected projects ensuring alignment with the company's goals and driving successful outcomes. For those hoping to hire one of the strategic thinkers in the new future, check out these what-to-watch-out-for tips from our specialist recruitment consultants.
Leadership Acumen: Look for a proven track record of leading high-performing project teams and delivering complex programs on time and within budget. Their leadership style should inspire confidence and collaboration across departments.
Strategic Visionary: A Program Director translates the company's vision into a tangible program roadmap. They possess a keen understanding of the bigger picture and can make strategic decisions that optimise the entire program, not just individual projects.
Change Management Expertise: The tech landscape is constantly evolving. Your ideal candidate should be adept at navigating change and leading teams through program adjustments or unforeseen challenges.
Communication Powerhouse: Effective communication is paramount. The Program Director needs to clearly articulate program goals, manage stakeholder expectations, and foster open communication across all levels of the organisation.
