Program Manager Two Jobs in Kyle, TX (NOW HIRING)

Application deadline: Jul 14, 2026
Operations Engagement (OE) is a team within Operations Business Support (OBS), part of Whole Foods Market's Worldwide Grocery Stores (WWGS) organization. We deliver an excellent customer experience by building confident and capable retail leaders through business acumen training, operational store support, and labor and scheduling optimization insights-empowering operators to make informed decisions that drive success across WWGS.
We partner directly with store operations and process teams, and operations finance to drive measurable improvements in store-level performance. Our portfolio spans store profitability support, new store openings, labor and scheduling optimization, and our Business Acumen program. We deliver results that directly impact Team Members and customers.
How we work: We believe simplicity drives results-if it's not clear, we simplify it before sharing it. We own our decisions with confidence, act as advocates for operators, and speak up when we see opportunities to improve. We stay operationally fluent because our credibility depends on it, and we show up as one aligned voice that operators can trust and execute against.
About the Role

You will hold yourself and others accountable to measurable outcomes, operating with urgency and a high bar for quality.
This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You will translate complex operational challenges into clear, repeatable solutions-leveraging data, analytics, and diagnostic AI tools to develop actionable insights that inform store-level decisions. Success means building capabilities that outlast you and delivering results that operators can see in their day-to-day performance.
