The Senior Program Manager is accountable for integration, outcomes, and value across workstreams, and for giving executives the clarity they need to make timely decisions. Many programs support Global Partners’ growth, including acquisition integration and enterprise-wide process and system change.

The Global Spirit is how we work to fuel that long term commitment to success. As a Fortune 500 company with 90+ years of experience, we’re proud to fuel communities- responsibly and sustainably. We show up every day with grit, passion, and purpose-anticipating needs, building lasting relationships, and creating shared value.

Program Ownership & Outcomes

Owns end-to-end delivery of one or more complex programs, serving as the primary point of accountability for program outcomes, execution health, and risk. Translates approved business objectives into clear program scope, success measures, roadmaps, and executable plans across multiple workstreams. Drives the program through initiation, planning, execution, implementation, stabilization, and handoff to operations, including confirmation that intended business value is realized.

Integrated Planning & Execution

Develops and actively manages integrated program plans, including dependencies, sequencing, and critical path across projects, teams, and vendors. Continuously assesses program health, identifies trade-offs, and adjusts direction to maintain momentum. Synthesizes inputs across workstreams into a single program-level view of progress, risks, and decisions required.

Governance & Operating Rhythm

Defines and leads the program governance model, including working teams, steering committees, and decision forums, scaled to the size, risk, and complexity of the program. Ensures program meetings drive decisions, accountability, and follow-through, and maintains plans, RAID logs, weekly status, and decision logs to EPMO standards.

Financial & Vendor Management

Owns program budget planning, forecasting, tracking, and variance reporting, aligned to approved funding. Manages external vendors and implementation partners, holding them accountable for deliverables, timelines, quality, and contractual obligations.

Risk, Issue & Dependency Management

Identifies and manages program-level risks, issues, and cross-workstream dependencies early; drives resolution with clear ownership and recommendations; escalates through defined paths when executive attention is needed.

Stakeholder, Executive & Change Leadership

Partners with executives, business owners, and technology leaders to align priorities, timelines, and outcomes; translates technical complexity into clear business implications. Delivers executive-ready dashboards, status updates, and decision requests that clearly communicate program health, risks, and key decisions. Partners with business leaders on change management, communication, training, and adoption plans so users are ready for new processes, systems, and ways of working.

Hands-On Program Leadership & Influence

Champions and drives program work directly, taking hands-on ownership of key activities and deliverables while coordinating and influencing Project Managers, workstream leads, coordinators, and other contributors when assigned. Models strong delivery discipline, informally mentors project managers and other contributors as applicable, and contributes feedback to improve EPMO templates, standards, and tools. Supplies program status, milestones, financial forecasts, and resource needs that feed the EPMO portfolio view; leads post-implementation reviews and shares lessons learned.
