As a Lead Program Manager, Value Management within Supply Chain’s Strategy & Operations (S&O), you will lead value strategy and financial accountability across one or more GSCL Unified Plan programs, in partnership with Portfolio for prioritization and sequencing decisions.

• Lead program-level value strategy, translating enterprise and GSCL financial targets into clear initiative-level goals and hero KPIs.

• Establish and maintain standardized value frameworks, baseline methodologies, and performance metrics to ensure consistency across initiatives.

• Ensure every Unified Plan initiative has a documented, validated value case inclusive of operational impact, financial benefit, investment requirements, and P&L implications.

• Partner with Finance to validate assumptions, confirm impact-tracking methodologies, and maintain a single source of truth between the Unified Plan and financial plan.

• Own weekly and monthly value reporting and partner with Business Owners and Finance to conduct variance analysis, root cause identification, mitigation planning, and escalation of value risks.

• Evaluate initiative benefit, investment, and financial tradeoffs, and partner with Portfolio to proactively flag value risks that may require reprioritization, resequencing, or scope adjustment within the Unified Plan.

• Govern value validation, measurement rigor, and financial alignment while GSCL Program and Initiative Leads retain accountability for execution and operational KPI delivery.

• Prepare executive-ready reporting and recommendations for governance forums, including S&O Unified Plan Reviews and Bullseye Moments.

• Influence business leaders, Product/Tech, Operations, and Finance partners to drive disciplined value realization and clear accountability.

• Foster clarity, rigor, and consistency in how value is defined, measured, and delivered across the GSCL transformation portfolio.
