Job Description

A leading, rapidly modernizing third-party logistics firm in Southern California is seeking a highly experienced Senior IT Program Manager to drive program, project, and systems delivery across their enterprise applications and serve as the trusted customer-facing point of contact for onboarding and implementation. This is a full-time, permanent position based at the company's City of Industry headquarters (onsite and hybrid; not remote) and reporting directly to the executive team.

In this visible, autonomous role, you will coordinate intake, prioritization, and delivery of complex projects across packaged software-spanning WMS, ERP, EDI, billing, IT service management, and a data platform-working with both internal teams and external vendors. You'll directly manage the end-to-end customer onboarding process for enterprise applications, transforming ad-hoc implementations into scalable, repeatable processes. This position is perfect for a program leader who thrives on owning outcomes, protecting technical talent, and shaping standardized onboarding in a fast-paced, delivery-driven environment.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 8+ years of hands-on program and project management; able to run multi-workstream technology portfolios with structured rigor
  • Experience overseeing enterprise software rollouts and service desk operating cadence, ideally from a consulting, management, or supply chain background
  • Direct responsibility for WMS (Warehouse Management System) implementations in 3PL or warehouse settings; hands-on with site or customer onboarding
  • Track record of EDI onboarding-customer-facing, retailer and label compliance, trading-partner setup (940, 943, 944, 856, 846, or related)
  • Clear, credible communicator; able to set, manage, and deliver on expectations with customers and leadership in high-stakes environments
  • Built and run repeatable onboarding or implementation playbooks/processes, not just ad hoc launches
  • Adept at gathering requirements, sequencing dependencies, writing specs, and translating between business and technology teams (no coding required)
  • Proven ability to handle intake/triage, allocate resources, and prioritize a portfolio-deciding what gets worked on next and holding the line on priorities
  • Comfortable as the top program manager-reporting directly to executives, autonomously driving initiatives to completion
  • Working, practical fluency with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar): you use them in your daily workflow and are diligent in verifying outputs
  • Based in Southern California, able to be onsite/hybrid at the City of Industry headquarters
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Familiarity with Blue Yonder (WMS) or hands-on ERP (NetSuite or similar) implementations
  • Built onboarding or implementation frameworks from scratch
  • Experience in PE-backed, fast-growth, or owner-operated environments
  • PMP certification or equivalent project management qualification
