Fasttrack Process Program ManagerIf you are energized by simplifying complex operations, improving customer and seller experiences, and data to transform how work gets done, this FastTrack Process Program Manager role offers the opportunity to shape how MCA-E Acceleration operates. AI, Automation and Continuous Improvement are the foundations for success in this role to scale.
FastTrack supports complex EA-to-MCA-E customer transitions by connecting sellers, customers, and operational stakeholders across the engagement lifecycle. The team helps create clarity across intake, assessment, enablement, migration, and post-transition follow-through, while partnering broadly to remove blockers and improve the end-to-end experience.
In this role, you will own and optimize critical FastTrack processes from design through execution. You will translate business priorities and customer signals into compliant, measurable, and scalable operating mechanisms; identify and resolve risks, issues, and dependencies; and lead continuous improvement and change management across the program. You will work across FastTrack, Customer Operations Managers, Operations Deal Managers, Business Planning, MCAPS Help, DCOE, Engineering, field sellers, and other MBO Operations teams to establish clear handoffs, strengthen execution, and enable MCA-E at scale.
You will combine strong process discipline with business program management, data analysis, stakeholder leadership, and AI-enabled innovation. Success requires the ability to create clarity in ambiguity, influence across organizational boundaries, and convert operational insights into durable improvements rather than one-off workarounds.
