About the Role
The Senior Manager, Construction – Minor Projects & Programs provides program- and portfolio-level leadership across a continuous, high-volume pipeline of minor remodel, refresh, maintenance, and closure projects from pre-construction through closeout. This role leads external project managers and external vendors and is accountable for program outcomes and portfolio performance, including budgeting, capital planning, workload planning, and performance management. Unlike roles focused on individual projects, this position requires oversight of an integrated portfolio of concurrent initiatives, ensuring strategic alignment across multiple initiatives while balancing cost, schedule, and quality outcomes.
The Senior Manager is the central communication hub across Corporate and Field teams, requiring strong cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Real Estate Law, Store Operations, Design, and external partners. Success in this role demands expert knowledge of architectural and construction means and methods, the ability to manage system-level dependencies across overlapping projects, and the skill to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume, high-touch environment.

- Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, performance standards, safety requirements, and jurisdictional requirements across the portfolio.
- Own delivery of projects through closeout, ensuring consistent cost, quality, and schedule performance across programs.
- Lead competitive bid/award processes; respond to bid questions and clarifications.
- Manage change orders, charge-back processes, risk mitigation, and program-level contingency planning.
- Serve as the primary enterprise liaison between Construction, Finance, Real Estate Law, Store Operations, and Field teams.
- Partner with Store Operations to mitigate construction impacts across multiple locations simultaneously; develop phasing strategies to support operational continuity during improvements.
- Provide clear, timely updates to executive and senior stakeholders, tailoring communication to diverse audiences.
- Develop and maintain integrated program- and project-level schedules; drive to milestones and proactively escalate portfolio risks.
- Align program execution with corporate priorities, seasonal retail cycles, and operational readiness.
- Coordinate site control, document management, and compliance across multiple concurrent projects.
