As a Sr Program Manager, you will lead analytics initiatives across World Wide Grocery Stores (WWGS), with a primary focus on supporting Culinary teams and Private Brands insights. You will own the end-to-end insights process - translating ambiguous business questions and disparate data sets into clear, actionable recommendations - while also supporting cross-banner ad-hoc analytics needs as they arise. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, can independently structure complex analytical programs, and has the ability to "tell a story" through white paper-level analytic recommendations that influence senior leadership decisions. With a strong program management foundation, deep analytical expertise, and knowledge of the grocery retail landscape, you will operate at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and cross-functional leadership.
