About the Role
The Net Zero Program Manager Lead combines Net Zero subject-matter leadership with day-to-day program management of the client’s decarbonization portfolio. The role shapes the roadmap, guides technical and investment priorities, and converts strategy into an executable pipeline of projects.
Responsibilities
- Lead day-to-day management of a portfolio of Net Zero and decarbonization projects across multiple sites and workstreams.
- Translate program objectives into defined scopes, work plans, milestones, ownership, and measurable outcomes.
- Maintain the integrated program roadmap, master schedule, governance calendar, and project pipeline.
- Establish meeting cadences, decision rights, escalation paths, and accountability across internal teams and service partners.
- Drive action-item closure, resolve cross-project dependencies, and escalate decisions that require executive direction.
- Manage schedule baselines, critical-path activities, milestones, resource constraints, and recovery plans across the portfolio.
- Maintain program-level visibility into approved budgets, commitments, actuals, forecasts, variances, and future funding needs.
- Partner with finance, procurement, and project teams to reconcile cost information and support annual and multi-year capital planning.
- Maintain risk, issue, assumption, dependency, decision, and change logs with clear owners, due dates, and mitigation actions.
- Apply change control to material changes in scope, schedule, budget, or expected outcomes and elevate variances with recommended corrective actions.
- Produce standardized weekly and monthly reporting on schedule, cost, milestones, risks, decisions, and program performance.
- Develop executive dashboards and governance materials that convert detailed project information into concise, actionable insights.
- Define and maintain program KPIs for project delivery, capital deployment, energy, emissions, savings, and other agreed outcomes.
- Coordinate source-data collection and validation across project, sustainability, engineering, finance, and data teams.
- Serve as a Net Zero subject-matter lead for Account Executives and client stakeholders, advising on decarbonization pathways, building systems, electrification, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and emissions-reduction priorities.
- Own and maintain the portfolio decarbonization roadmap, including asset-level opportunities, equipment-replacement strategies, capital requirements, implementation timing, and expected energy and carbon outcomes.
- Establish evaluation and prioritization criteria that balance carbon impact, financial performance, operational needs, asset strategy, regulatory requirements, and delivery readiness.
- Guide initiatives from opportunity identification through feasibility, business case, approval, design, procurement, implementation, commissioning, measurement and verification, and closeout.
- Partner with engineering and technical specialists to validate assumptions and ensure projects meet agreed scope, schedule, budget, quality, and performance requirements.
- Coordinate client stakeholders, C&W account teams, project managers, engineering, sustainability, facilities, procurement, finance, utilities, landlords, consultants, and contractors.
- Facilitate governance meetings, working sessions, budget reviews, and executive updates; document decisions and required actions.
- Support scopes of work, RFPs, vendor evaluations, contracting, and supplier performance management as required.
- Hold internal and external teams accountable for agreed deliverables and communicate effectively with both technical and executive audiences.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction or project management, sustainability, business, real estate, or a related discipline.
- Seven or more years of progressively responsible experience spanning program or project management and Net Zero, energy, sustainability, engineering, or building decarbonization.
- Demonstrated command of scope, schedule, budget, forecasting, risk, change control, governance, and executive reporting.
- Demonstrated ability to develop decarbonization roadmaps, evaluate energy and carbon opportunities, and translate technical strategy into executable projects.
- Experience developing integrated schedules, budgets, milestone plans, dashboards, and decision-ready reporting.
- Ability to lead cross-functional teams in a matrixed organization and influence outcomes without direct authority.
- Strong analytical, communication, facilitation, and client-service skills, including experience presenting to senior leaders.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint and experience with enterprise project, program, or reporting platforms.
- Experience delivering Net Zero, energy-efficiency, electrification, renewable-energy, building-performance, MEP, or capital-improvement programs across a large commercial real estate portfolio.
- Experience developing business cases and evaluating projects using financial, operational, energy, and carbon criteria.
