New Balance
Date: 6 days ago
City: Lawrence, MA
Contract type: Full time
Who We Are:
Since 1906, New Balance has empowered people through sport and craftsmanship to create positive change in communities around the world. We innovate fearlessly, guided by our core values and driven by the belief that conventions were meant to be challenged. We foster a culture in which every associate feels welcomed and respected, where leaders and creatives are inspired to shape the world of tomorrow by taking bold action today.
JOB MISSION:
The Sr. Manager, Operations Portfolio Management, will partner with senior business leaders to drive key initiatives across the Global Footwear and Apparel Value Chain organization. You will work closely with the Senior Director, Value Chain Strategy and Business Operations and the COO to formulate strategic vision and operational objectives that support the attainment of New Balance’s strategic pillars and feed the creation of the VC multi-year strategic initiatives roadmap.
The Senior Manager will support strategic initiatives and apply and coach others to apply exceptional project management and collaborative skills and techniques to drive the creation and management of clear project objectives, project plans, deliverables with clear ownership and risk mitigation. You will ensure that all project deliverables are executed on time and within budget and provide transparency of project status to Sr. Leadership through steering and other leadership meetings.
MAJOR ACCOUNTABILITIES:
Our products are only as good as the people we hire, so we make sure to hire the best and treat them accordingly. New Balance offers a comprehensive traditional benefits package including three options for medical insurance as well as dental, vision, life insurance and 401K. We also proudly offer a slate of more nontraditional perks – opportunities like online learning and development courses, tuition reimbursement, $100 monthly student loan support and various mentorship programs – that encourage our associates to grow personally as they develop professionally. You’ll also enjoy a yearly $1,000 lifestyle reimbursement, 4 weeks of vacations, 12 holidays and generous parental leave, because work-life balance is more than just a buzzword – it’s part of our culture.
Temporary associates are provided three options for medical insurance as well as dental and vision insurance and an associate discount.
Part time associates are provided 401k, short term disability, a yearly $300 lifestyle reimbursement and an associate discount.

Our North American hybrid model encourages rich in-person experiences, showcasing our commitment to teamwork and connection, while maintaining flexibility for associates. New Balance Associates currently work in office three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Our offices are fully open, and amenities are available across our North American office locations. To continue our focus on hybrid work we have introduced “Work from Anywhere” (WFA) for four weeks per calendar year. This model will help us enhance our culture while continuing to maintain elements of flexibility.
