- Translate operational challenges into structured, actionable project plans with clear milestones, timelines, and deliverables.
Develop and maintain project documentation, including project scopes, schedules, risk registers, and communication plans.
Drive decision-making by synthesizing complex information and presenting insights to stakeholders and leadership.
Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and dependencies; implement mitigation strategies to ensure successful project outcomes. - Foster alignment across teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, ensuring all contributors are informed and accountable.
Monitor project progress and report status regularly, ensuring transparency and early issue escalation.
Support continuous improvement by applying analytical thinking and operational understanding to refine processes and enhance execution.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of project management experience, preferably in manufacturing, complex operations, logistics, advanced services, or similarly challenging environments.
- Proven ability to manage large, complex, multi-stakeholder projects with significant operational components.
- Strong comfort with rapidly changing priorities and high-growth, high-velocity environments.
Demonstrated ability to work hands-on with operations teams to understand processes and reshape work for efficiency and effectiveness.
Excellent communication, organization, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Ability to analyze operational data, identify trends, and translate insights into structured project approaches.
Experience with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project) and process improvement methodologies are a plus. - Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, business, or a related field preferred; PMP or similar certification is advantageous but not required.
