The role will bring together Business, R&D IT, Real Estate, Digital Office, Engineering, and local delivery teams to establish clear ownership, integrated plans, and timely decisions across a complex, multi-site portfolio. The position requires strong program governance, communication, risk management, and executive escalation capabilities. It is focused on coordination and delivery leadership, while technical design and infrastructure decisions remain with the appropriate subject-matter specialists.\n Program Planning & Strategy\nLead the development of the lab consolidation and relocation program strategy, ensuring alignment with corporate real estate objectives, business priorities, lab optimization initiatives, and cloudification workstreams.\nEstablish program governance, scope, workstreams, named owners, decision points, reporting requirements, and a formal handover process before execution begins.\nMaintain an integrated program view of site exits, lease and reinstatement dates, lab transitions, move sequencing, dependencies, risks, and required executive decisions.\nCoordinate with Business, R&D IT, Real Estate, Digital Office, Engineering, and local delivery teams to define program requirements, priorities, and implementation constraints.\nProgram Execution & Management\nLead program-level coordination across multiple lab consolidation, relocation, and site-transition projects, ensuring each workstream has a clear plan, accountable owner, and agreed delivery milestones.\nDrive follow-up across workstreams, challenge delays or incomplete inputs, and escalate unresolved decisions to senior stakeholders when required.\nCoordinate relocation planning with lab optimization and cloudification activities to support operational continuity and efficient sequencing.\nUse regional delivery resources and local project teams as required to support execution while maintaining overall program control and consistency.\nRoute technical judgments concerning lab design, IT, engineering, infrastructure, security, and workplace requirements to the relevant specialists and track decisions through closure.\nRisk & Dependency Management\nOwn the program risk-management workflow, including risk identification, mitigation coordination, escalation, and closure tracking.\nMonitor cross-project dependencies affecting business units, leasing, reinstatement, infrastructure, lab readiness, and transition timing.\nIdentify schedule, operational, cost, and continuity risks early and coordinate corrective actions with the responsible workstream owners.\nMaintain transparent escalation paths and ensure material risks and decisions are presented to the appropriate governance forums.\nStakeholder Management & Governance\nServe as the central program coordination point across internal stakeholders, workstream leads, regional delivery teams, and senior business executives.\nFacilitate cross-functional collaboration and ensure responsibilities, decisions, assumptions, and handoffs are clearly documented and understood.\nMaintain a disciplined governance cadence, including working sessions, decision forums, executive reviews, and action follow-up.\nPresent program status, risks, dependencies, and decision requirements credibly and concisely to senior stakeholders.\nReporting & Documentation\nProvide concise program plans, executive status reports, risk assessments, meeting records, decision logs, and action trackers.\nMaintain comprehensive program documentation, including scope, governance, integrated schedules, workstream plans, transition milestones, risks, dependencies, and handover records.\nEnsure program information is current, consistent, and suitable for executive decision-making.\nCapture lessons learned and delivery insights to improve future lab consolidation and relocation initiatives.\nExperience managing complex programs or projects in a corporate real estate, construction, facilities, technology, engineering, or laboratory environment.\nProven background coordinating multi-site programs with interdependent schedules, workstreams, stakeholders, risks, and executive decision points.\nStrong knowledge of program and project governance, integrated planning, schedule management, risk management, change management, and executive reporting.\nDemonstrated ability to establish clear ownership, drive action follow-up, challenge incomplete inputs, and escalate issues constructively.\nExperience working across business, real estate, IT, engineering, infrastructure, and local delivery organizations.\nStrong organizational, communication, stakeholder-management, facilitation, and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to maintain a strategic program-level view while tracking detailed dependencies and delivery commitments.\nAbility to communicate and present credibly to senior business executives and governance forums.\nWorking familiarity with corporate real estate, lease events, site exits, reinstatement obligations, relocations, and technically demanding workplace or lab transitions.\nFamiliarity with project and program management tools used for integrated schedules, risk registers, action tracking, and status reporting.\nIt would be nice if you also had:\nExperience coordinating laboratory consolidation, relocation, optimization, or cloudification programs.\nExperience managing transitions involving specialized lab infrastructure, critical IT dependencies, engineering systems, and business-continuity requirements.\nPMP, PgMP, PRINCE2, or an equivalent project or program management certification.\nReal estate or facilities management credentials, such as CoreNet MCR or IFMA CFM, or relevant engineering, construction, or technology qualifications.\nExperience working in a global, matrixed organization with regional and local delivery
