My top 3 would be

1. Ability to manage dependencies and risk across multiple projects
2. Ability to work in cross cultural scenarios
3.Good understanding of Vendor Management and Contracting methods. Needless to say, the ability to understand "Finance"

I am assuming the person will be a skilled project manager already and has relevant competencies

I would add to that the ability to see the big picture. A program is a piece of work designed to create credible, sustainable business change. So you need to be able to envision the end goal and work out practical strategies to be able to get there. A focus on benefits and value is also important.
