Job Description:

The Vice President, Transformation Management Office (TMO) will lead enterprise-wide transformation across People & Culture’s most strategic initiatives. This role serves as the organization’s transformation “mission control,” ensuring complex, cross-functional work is aligned, sequenced, and executed to deliver measurable business impact.

The VP, TMO will not directly own all initiatives, but will act as the enterprise orchestrator—connecting workstreams, surfacing dependencies, accelerating decisions, and removing barriers. This leader will shape transformation at scale by embedding agile, AI-enabled ways of working and clear mechanisms for intake, prioritization, governance, and escalation.

This is a highly visible leadership role partnering closely with senior executives across HR, Workforce Technology, Finance, and business teams. The successful candidate will operate strategically while driving disciplined execution, ensuring every transformation priority is explicitly connected to Disney’s broader business strategy.
