Are you a seasoned delivery leader with deep Mainframe expertise and a track record of driving large-scale enterprise transformation? This is a high-impact contract opportunity based on-site in Switzerland, sitting at the heart of a critical, business-wide modernisation programme.
The Role As Senior Program Lead, you will take full ownership of a complex, enterprise-wide initiative, from initial scoping and planning through to deployment and service transition. You'll lead cross-functional teams, manage senior executive stakeholders, and be the primary escalation point across multiple business units. This is not a coordination role. You'll be expected to make decisions in ambiguous environments, drive governance, manage risk and financials, and select and apply the right delivery methodology, whether Waterfall, Agile, SAFe, or hybrid, based on what the programme demands.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading end-to-end delivery of a large-scale, business-critical transformation programme
Owning programme governance, risk, dependencies, financials, and executive reporting
Defining scope, requirements, and testing and deployment strategies
Directing geographically dispersed teams and external vendors
Acting as the primary interface for senior stakeholders and steering committees
What We're Looking For
15+ years of delivery leadership experience on complex, enterprise-wide programmes
Strong Mainframe technical background, essential
Mainframe modernisation experience, a significant advantage
Proven ability to lead in legacy IT environments
Fluency in both English and German
Bachelor's degree or equivalent
Experience with Waterfall, Agile, SAFe, and hybrid methodologies
