Why do you want a career as a program manager?

Remember to describe how the role of program manager serves both your short-term and long-term professional goals.

It allows me to utilize my foundational project management skills while applying those concepts at a larger scale. It also affords me new experiences and challenges that will help me grow as a leader. Finally, the position offers the experience needed for exciting future career progression opportunities that are appealing to me."
