About the role

  • Senior Enterprise Program Manager leading strategic initiatives across M&T Bank's enterprise level. Act as an independent program leader ensuring governance standards are met and outcomes delivered on time.

Responsibilities

  • Operate at the enterprise level - not within a single line of business - aligning stakeholders across functions and ensuring accountability to commitments.
  • Monitor progress across several high-impact programs simultaneously; identify critical blockers early and drive risk, issue, and decision management across scope, schedule, budget, and resources.
  • Engage regularly with senior executives and enterprise leaders, guiding initiatives such as digital optimization (web/mobile), regulatory response programs, cloud/infrastructure modernization, major business transformations, and M&A integrations.
  • Lead and direct the work of matrixed teams - business-line project managers, analysts, and contract PM resources - without direct people management.
  • Produce crisp, executive-ready communications and artifacts that create transparency and drive decisions.
  • Champion continuous improvement, enterprise governance, and delivery best practices to keep complex work moving at pace.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent work experience
  • 7+ years related work experience
  • 7+ years leading complex, multi-disciplinary enterprise transformations in large corporate environments (Fortune 500 or similar scale)
  • Deep program management expertise: multi-program portfolios, cross-dependency management, executive communications, and benefits realization
  • Ability to influence and negotiate across all levels - from executives to delivery teams - without formal authority
  • Strong OCM, stakeholder management, and communication skills; exceptional clarity in executive storytelling and decision framing
  • Hands-on experience with MS Project, Jira, SharePoint, and the MS Office suite for planning, tracking, and reporting
  • Working knowledge of Agile/SAFe alongside traditional program controls
  • 5+ years program/portfolio experience on large-scale transformations (e.g., digital modernization, servicing modernization, cloud migration, regulatory remediation, M&A integration)
  • Financial services or highly regulated industry experience
  • MBA/MS or relevant certifications: PMP, SAFe/Agilist, ScrumMaster, CBAP (or equivalent)

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plans
  • Forty hours of paid volunteer time each year
