About the Role
YETI is seeking a Senior IT Project and Portfolio Manager to partner with diverse Technology teams across the organization as we implement and operate best‑in‑class program and project management practices.
This role will lead and deliver large, complex Information Technology initiatives and will be directly accountable for key project, program, portfolio, adoption, and business outcomes. The Senior IT Project and Portfolio Manager is responsible for managing complex, cross-functional technology programs that span multiple workstreams, systems, data platforms, enterprise capabilities, and business stakeholders. Operating with a high degree of autonomy and influence, this role translates strategic objectives into executable delivery plans, capability-based roadmaps, and measurable outcomes while ensuring alignment with YETI’s business priorities.
The ideal candidate is an experienced IT leader who brings a rare combination of portfolio and program management depth, enterprise architecture perspective, product-oriented operating model experience, and hands-on technical fluency. They are comfortable moving between strategy and execution—organizing work around business capabilities, value chains, measurable outcomes, and multi-year roadmaps while influencing senior stakeholders and delivery teams in a fast-paced, brand-driven environment.
They bring credible experience in at least one area of technical solutioning—such as software engineering, enterprise applications, data platforms, integration, cloud-based capabilities, API-first architecture, or system administration—enabling effective partnership with engineering, architecture, product, data, and technology teams.
We are looking for a team member with eight or more years of experience working within program, project, portfolio, product, engineering, enterprise architecture, or technology leadership roles. An Agile mindset is essential, along with demonstrated competency in traditional waterfall project management methodologies. The successful candidate will closely partner with Information Technology teams and business stakeholders, actively contribute to the continuous improvement of YETI’s delivery frameworks, tools, and methodologies, and help teams adopt iterative planning, common delivery rhythms, transparent decision-making, outcome-based portfolio practices, and durable change across teams.
