Job Title: Business Transformation Project Manager

Summary

The Business Transformation Project Manager serves as a versatile, cross-functional contributor responsible for driving business transformation initiatives from concept through implementation. This role blends three core skill sets: project management discipline (planning, governance, risk, execution), business analysis rigor (process mapping, requirements gathering, and process documentation), and communications expertise (stakeholder engagement, visual communications).

• Document current-state and future-state business processes (process mapping, SOPs, workflow diagrams) to provide a clear, accurate reference for operations teams and project stakeholders and identify inefficiencies and improvement opportunities
• Gather, document, and validate business and technical requirements from cross-functional stakeholders, translating operational needs into clear specifications for IT and vendor partners
• Manage stakeholder relationships across operations, IT, and leadership, including identifying key stakeholders, understanding their priorities/concerns, and maintain on ongoing engagement throughout the project lifecycle
• Facilitate working sessions and contribute to leadership updates, serving as a translator between technical teams, operations staff, and executive sponsors
• Partner with IT, operations, and vendor teams to evaluate solutions, manage testing/UAT, and support go-live and post-implementation transition
• Coordinate with the organizational change management team to ensure project communications and timelines align with broader change management plans
• Identify and escalate project risks, dependencies, and resource constraints proactively

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience building and maintaining cross-functional relationships across operations, IT, and leadership levels
