The role

In this role, your mission will be to ensure the successful delivery of complex corporate transformation programs , acting as both delivery owner and strategic account counterpart while overseeing financial performance, shaping the micro‑design of programs, and applying AI tools and methodologies to accelerate delivery, automate processes, and increase measurable client impact.

Responsibilities

• Own and govern the delivery of complex corporate transformation and learning programs, ensuring execution excellence aligned with Talent Garden standards.
• Use and integrate advanced AI tools to support governance, planning, data synthesis, automation, and decision‑making across the delivery lifecycle.
• Lead client conversations on AI tools, translating them into concrete program implementation and guiding organizations toward structured AI adoption.

• Bring solid exposure to LLMs and productivity AI tools across different environments (FYI we use Google Workspace with Gemini); familiarity or certifications with Microsoft Copilot or the Microsoft ecosystem are considered a plus.
• Bring strong PMO capabilities , including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, negotiation, and scope management, and engage confidently with senior stakeholders, demonstrating authority, clarity, and structured thinking.
• Operate with autonomy and decision‑making ownership , without requiring supervision, and demonstrate resilience and disciplined problem‑solving in fast‑moving, complex environments.
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior team members is considered a plus.
• Have native‑level proficiency in Italian and professional fluency in English .
