We are seeking a Program Manager III to lead expansion strategy for our Rural Super Rural Plus (RSR+) program within R2L. In this role, you will own strategic expansion planning end-to-end - evaluating and prioritizing opportunities, building the roadmaps that guide the program's long-term growth, and driving expansion initiatives from intake through execution within a defined program lifecycle. This position requires a self-directed operator who can navigate ambiguity with autonomy, deep dive across a wide range of functional domains, and communicate with impact at every level - up to VP-level leadership.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will own strategic expansion planning for the RSR+ program, including evaluation, prioritization, and the development and maintenance of expansion roadmaps that guide the program's long-term growth trajectory. You will run the program's intake-to-launch lifecycle, moving initiatives from prioritized intake through scoping and tollgate reviews to launch. You will scope and drive expansion initiatives across a range of strategic programs, translating ambiguous opportunities into structured, executable plans.
Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will partner with Network Design to validate and align expansion priorities with network capacity and infrastructure realities. You will coordinate across cross-functional stakeholders - spanning design, selection, supply chain, capacity, operations, optimization, and quality - operating within a defined RACI to remove blockers and drive decisions that keep programs moving forward. Through data-driven decision making, you will synthesize complex, multi-source inputs into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations - communicating expansion strategy, risks, and program status to VP-level leadership through written and verbal business reviews. You will identify risks and interdependencies early and drive resolution across stakeholder groups.
A day in the life
Your day spans capacity feasibility analysis, driving programs through their decision gates, and building OP-level business cases that distill months of network-planning complexity into crisp, decision-ready briefs. Your stakeholders span Network Design, Selection, Supply Chain, and Capacity - and every day is about connecting dots, driving clarity, and moving expansion decisions forward.
