Are you early in your career but ready to own something big?

Lumentum — an S&P 500 technology leader at the heart of the AI infrastructure revolution — is looking for a driven, detail-obsessed professional to take charge of our Program Portfolio Management System (PDWare ResourceFirst). This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact role where data, strategy, and execution meet — with direct visibility to executive leadership.

What You’ll Own

You’ll be the go-to expert for our portfolio management system — ensuring it runs smoothly, delivers insights, and supports critical decision-making across the business.

• System Administration: Own and manage PDWare ResourceFirst — configuration, maintenance, and continuous improvement
• Data Integrity: Keep our portfolio data clean, consistent, and trustworthy (no chaos allowed)
• Reporting & Insights: Build and deliver clear, actionable reports for leadership and program teams
• User Enablement: Support, train, and empower users to get the most out of the system
• Process Optimization: Identify inefficiencies and drive smarter, more scalable ways of working
• Cross-Functional Impact: Collaborate with engineering, program management, and leadership teams

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in program management, PMO tools, business operations, or similar
• Administrator-level experience with PPM tools such as PDWare ResourceFirst, Planview, or Clarity (configuration, maintenance, and user support)
• Experience with reporting and data visualization tools — Tableau and Qlik Sense preferred; Power BI also valued
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail (you spot what others miss)
• Confidence working with data, reports, and dashboards
• Ability to translate technical systems into user-friendly guidance
• Proactive attitude — you don’t wait for problems, you prevent them

Why This Role Matters

Reporting directly to the VP of Corporate PMO, you’ll operate at the intersection of data, execution, and strategy. At Lumentum, we’re not just building products — we’re enabling the infrastructure behind the world’s most advanced AI systems. Your work will directly influence how resources are planned, programs are executed, and strategic decisions are made.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Be part of a fast-growing S&P 500 company at the center of AI innovation
• High visibility role with exposure to executive leadership
• Take ownership early and make a tangible impact
• Work with smart, driven teams across global functions
• Grow your career in program management, operations, or systems leadership
