Project Manager, Business Transformation

We're looking for a Project Manager to lead individual workstreams within our broader business transformation program. You will help support the implementation, development and iteration of workstreams  within a program within the overall business transformation strategy. You'll be responsible for planning, executing, and delivering projects that improve how the business operates - spanning process redesign, systems implementation, and organizational change; while working closely with the Transformation Lead and business stakeholders to ensure outcomes stick.

YOUR ROLE WILL CONSIST OF:

Own the end-to-end delivery of assigned projects: scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality

Translate a transformation charter into a detailed project plan with clear milestones, owners, and dependencies

Run regular status reporting (RYG statuses) and escalate risks and blockers before they become critical

Facilitate cross-functional working sessions with stakeholders across Ops, IT, Finance, and other impacted teams

Maintain project's RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and drive mitigation actions to closure

Manage resource needs in coordination with the team’s capacity planning process

Partner with change management resources to ensure adoption, not just technical completion of project deliverables

Conduct stage reviews and present go/no-go recommendations to the steering committee

Run post-implementation reviews and capture lessons learned for the broader team members

Oversee implementation, delivery and closure of multiple projects to ensure they are delivered on time, within budget, and on schedule

Liaise with stakeholders to define the scope, timeline, resources required and define any risk management plans

Define clear roles and responsibilities of the participating team members within each initiative

Lead multiple project streams with successful turnarounds to achieve timelines

Identify risks, prepare contingency and recovery plans in the event of project delays

Develop strategies to ensure efficient resource planning and allocation in alignment with the team's strategy

Apply change management processes to manage stakeholders’ expectations throughout the life cycle of a project, specifically managing changes to a project (added feature/requirements, extended deadline, added budget)

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF YOU HAVE:

6+ years of project management experience, ideally including business transformation, process improvement, or systems implementation projects

6+ years of experience in managing multiple end-to-end project life cycles

Preferred experience in Business Transformation projects and implementation experience working with multiple teams to focus on driving financial and operational results including behavioral changes such as design change strategy, assessing stakeholder impact, and organizational readiness

Identify project risks, prepare contingency and project recovery plans

Ability to quickly gain the trust and respect of senior stakeholders internally and with outside vendors

Experience in budgeting, scoping, scheduling and driving projects from initiation to delivery

Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders with competing priorities and drive alignment across business users, vendors, and stakeholders

Strong working knowledge of project management fundamentals: charters, schedules, budgets, risk registers, change control

Comfort working in both structured such as waterfall and iterative (Agile) delivery environments

Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate technical or operational complexity into clear updates for executive audiences

Experience with project tracking tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira/Confluence) and standard reporting formats

Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills

Based in US Eastern Time

What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months

Fully onboarded onto a few active transformation workstreams

Established a reliable status reporting cadence with team members

Feeling comfortable with follow ups within cross-functional team members involved in a workstream
