Who are we hiring?

The Procurement Organization at Madison Square Garden Entertainment is seeking a Senior Program Manager, a high-impact operator who will serve as the connective tissue between Procurement strategy and enterprise execution. Reporting directly to the SVP Procurement, this role is designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of program leadership, operational excellence, and cross-functional coordination.

This is not a traditional program management role. This Senior Program Manager will function as a strategic right hand to the SVP, driving the rhythm of the Procurement function, ensuring leadership priorities translate into measurable outcomes, and serving as a force multiplier across Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Madison Square Garden Sports, and Sphere. The ideal candidate brings a seat-at-the-table mindset, someone who understands that Procurement is a competitive advantage and operates with the ownership, precision, and executive presence required to keep a high-performing function running at the highest level.

What will you do?

• Develop and manage dashboards, status reports, and executive-ready updates that provide real-time visibility into initiative progress, risks, and resource needs, enabling the SVP Procurement to make informed, timely decisions.
• Identify and proactively mitigate risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks across concurrent initiatives, ensuring the Procurement organization consistently delivers on time and with impact.
• Establish and enforce program governance standards, including templates, workflows, and documentation protocols that bring rigor and repeatability to how the Procurement function plans and executes.
