Program Manager - Modernization & Enablement (Senior, or Lead)

Company:

The Boeing Company

Boeing Digital Services is transforming the way it designs, delivers, and supports aviation products at scale. We are in the midst of an organizational modernization effort—reinventing how our teams operate, how we partner with customers, and how we bring digital solutions to market. This is not incremental improvement; it is a fundamental shift in operating models, culture, and delivery capability.

The Modernization Office is at the center of this transformation, serving as the connective tissue between executive strategy and the product teams executing against it. It is the engine that keeps the organization aligned, enabled, and moving forward.

The Program Manager - Modernization & Enablement (Senior, or Lead) is a critical individual contributor who works directly in support of the Modernization Office Leader to advance Digital Services transformation agenda. In this role, you serve as both a program management practitioner and a change enablement partner—ensuring that modernization initiatives are not only well-organized and on-track, but that the people and teams responsible for executing them are equipped, aligned, and genuinely ready to operate differently. This person will play a critical role in ultimately ensuring everyone is moving toward our modernization ‘north star’ at pace, but also as a collective group in Seattle, WA; Denver, CO; Plano, TX

This role carries two primary areas of focus that define how you will spend your time. The first is structured program management—bringing discipline, visibility, and coordination to the portfolio of transformation initiatives managed by the Modernization Office. The second is change strategy and people enablement—designing and delivering the approaches that help product teams adopt new ways of working and sustain them over time. Both are equally critical to the success of this role and the broader transformation.

You will serve as a trusted extension of the Modernization Office Leader, helping to operationalize strategic direction, maintain organizational momentum, and ensure that executive intent translates into tangible, measurable progress across the business. Success in this role means the modernization roadmap is visible and trusted, product teams feel equipped rather than simply informed, and Digital Services demonstrates meaningful shifts in how it delivers value to its customers.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including; Senior, or Lead Program Manager - Modernization & Enablement.
