Innovation Strategy Governance Program Manager

About the role
As an Innovation Strategy Program Manager, you’ll be a key member of our Global Innovation Office, helping shape how Unisys innovates responsibly and at scale. In this role, you’ll focus on Responsible AI and Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) governance, ensuring our innovation efforts are secure, compliant, and closely aligned with business goals.
This is a high-impact, strategic position with visibility across both technical and business teams. Rather than hands-on delivery, you’ll influence direction, connect stakeholders, and help set the standards that guide how we innovate.

What you’ll do
In this role, you will:

• Lead and coordinate complex, cross-company initiatives around Responsible AI, AI Governance, and SDLC standards
• Own and continuously evolve Unisys’ enterprise AI governance framework
• Work closely with Engineering, Platform Engineering, IT, Legal, Security, and Business Units to ensure alignment and adoption
• Promote standardized, secure, and efficient development and DevOps practices across engineering teams
• Help ensure the use of approved platforms, tools, and development environments, reducing ungoverned or “shadow” development
• Facilitate governance forums, steering committees, and cross-functional working groups
• Create and maintain clear program roadmaps, milestones, and success metrics
• Proactively identify risks, communicate potential impacts, and drive mitigation plans
• Track progress, share outcomes, and support accountability across stakeholders
• Drive change management and continuous improvement, leveraging automation and modern tooling wherever possible
