Program Manager

Insight Global • Houston, TX • 23min ago

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead and coordinate multiple strategic AI initiatives focused on Merchandising and Inventory Management. This individual will oversee high-visibility projects, working closely with internal stakeholders and third-party consulting partners to define scope, coordinate execution, identify risks, and ensure initiatives continue moving forward. This is not a traditional PMO or process-heavy Program Manager role. The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and able to understand complex initiatives well enough to challenge scope, identify gaps, and proactively escalate issues to leadership. Key Responsibilities:

Lead and coordinate 5-7 strategic AI initiatives across Merchandising and Inventory Management.

Partner with internal business and technology stakeholders as well as third-party partners.

Help teams clearly define, understand, and manage project scope, priorities, dependencies, and deliverables.

Coordinate communication across multiple project teams, vendors, and leadership stakeholders.

Track progress across concurrent workstreams and ensure teams remain aligned on goals and next steps.

Proactively identify risks, obstacles, dependencies, and scope concerns before they impact delivery.

Evaluate issues and determine when they need to be escalated to senior leadership for resolution.

Drive accountability with internal teams and external partners without relying on overly rigid PMO processes.

Help translate strategic AI initiatives into actionable plans and ensure the right teams are aligned to execute.

Skills and Requirements

Strong Program/Project Management background managing several complex initiatives simultaneously.

Experience leading high-visibility, cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders.

Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Strong experience working with third-party vendors or consulting partners, including establishing and managing scope.

Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where scope may still be evolving.

Able to understand the bigger picture while also identifying tactical roadblocks and dependencies.

Confident escalating risks and challenging stakeholders when necessary.

Experience supporting AI, digital transformation, merchandising, supply chain, or inventory management initiatives is highly preferred.

Someone who is execution-oriented rather than overly process or PMO focused. Previous Sysco experience or familiarity with the Sysco environment is a strong plus.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or the recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
