Every week 1000s of changes are made as we seek to grow the business and optimize our resources.

The Senior Program Manager (Sr. PM) for TESS will take charge of ensuring the highest quality standards are followed as the network changes are deployed by the organization.

The role requires the individual to build and drive strategy to safeguard the NA transportation network (protect against negative customer experience impact).
