Program Manager
Job Description
We are seeking a Program Manager to support customer-facing implementation programs. This is a highly external-facing role responsible for managing programs for the client's customers as well as other operating companies.
This role will assume ownership of programs previously managed by a lower-performing PM and will also support new projects entering the delivery pipeline.
The ideal candidate is not a cookie-cutter Program Manager. Success in this role requires strong program management fundamentals combined with consulting skills, relationship management, and enough technical fluency to effectively collaborate with customers and technical teams.
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 opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their 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 recruiting process, please send a request to [email protected] learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy:
