The program director is the executive-level owner of a program. While the program manager handles day-to-day management and delivery, the program director holds ultimate ownership, accountability, and authority over the program at the organizational level. The program sponsor provides funding and advocacy but does not 'own' the program in the governance sense. The project manager owns individual projects, not the program.
