Why this role

This role is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact, cross-functional initiatives early in your career.

Role Overview

The Project Manager is responsible for driving execution of high-priority, cross-functional initiatives within the Field & Supply Chain Operations PMO.

The Project Manager partners closely with Field Operations, Supply Chain, Product, Finance, and Support teams, operating as a trusted execution leader in complex, fast-moving environments.

Success is measured by delivered outcomes, operational improvements, and the ability to drive work forward in complex, ambiguous environments.

Success in this role is measured by delivered outcomes, operational improvements, and the ability to move ambiguous work forward.

• Identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce rework, and simplify operations
• Track and measure outcomes, including baseline metrics and realized impact.

• Initiatives are delivered on time with clear, measurable outcomes
• Operational processes are simplified and more scalable
• Stakeholders are aligned and decisions move quickly
