IT Senior Program Manager

Creating Peace of Mind by Pioneering Safety and Security

At Allegion, we help keep the people you know and love safe and secure where they live, work and visit. With more than 40 brands, 14,000+ employees globally and products sold in 130 countries, we specialize in security around the doorway and beyond.

Additionally, Allegion is proud to be recognized with the 2026 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) for the third consecutive year, earning distinction in both the employee engagement and strengths categories. This year, Allegion also received Gallup’s With Distinction honor - a designation reserved for a select group of organizations that go above and beyond in building exceptional workplace cultures.

As an IT Senior Program Manager, you will be responsible for the full ERP lifecycle-from initial scoping through multi-site deployment-while actively leading process mapping sessions to optimize business processes. Bridging the gap between IT and business stakeholders, you will facilitate critical discussions and drive the decisions necessary to transform our Order-to-Cash (O2C), Supply Chain, and Distribution capabilities, including all integrated boundary applications. This high-impact hybrid role requires a blend of strategic program leadership and hands-on business analysis skillsets.
