The Role

We are seeking a Senior Program Manager for Privacy & Consent Software Platforms to lead high-impact, enterprise-scale privacy initiatives across GM’s digital ecosystem.

Partner closely with product, engineering, legal, and data teams to align priorities, influence decisions, and drive collaboration across technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Drive change effectively in a fast‑paced environment by adapting plans as priorities evolve, maintaining transparency, and ensuring clear, timely communication at all levels.

Provide concise, executive‑level program updates using data, metrics, and narrative storytelling to communicate progress, risks, and decisions.

Model strong program leadership by operating with urgency, integrity, and professional courage, fostering a positive, inclusive, and results‑driven team culture aligned with GM’s core values.
