Senior Enterprise IT Program Manager

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Senior Enterprise IT Program Manager to drive and lead highly complex, enterprise-wide business and technology initiatives. This role is the central point of integration and program leadership across the full ecosystem of each program, ensuring all workstreams operate as a single, aligned initiative where progress translates into real business outcomes.

This is not another project management role. It is an individual contributor role that combines direct hands-on project leadership with executive engagement. You will be responsible for each program's structure, discipline, and operating rhythm required to deliver at scale. The role brings clarity to complexity, anticipates risks before they surface, and serves as the critical bridge between a program's technical delivery teams and business leadership—translating highly technical concepts, trade-offs, and dependencies into clear business implications while ensuring that critical business needs are accurately understood and reflected in technical execution. The result: Executives and Senior Business and Enterprise leaders have the insight needed to make timely, informed program decisions, and every program is planned and delivered to maximize business value through sound technical implementation.

The successful candidate is an expert program manager with significant experience leading large, cross-functional, enterprise-wide initiatives. This is a role for an emotionally intelligent leader with outstanding judgment and sharp business acumen—someone who engages credibly with Executive and Senior Business leaders, navigates technical detail and business priorities with equal fluency, and runs a disciplined program operating model that drives alignment, accountability, and execution.

This is a full time onsite office-based position located in Newton, MA.

At Global Partners, business starts with people. Since 1933, we’ve believed in taking care of our customers, our guests, our communities, and each other—and that belief continues to guide us.

We show up every day with grit, passion, and purpose—anticipating needs, building lasting relationships, and creating shared value.
