Reports to: Sr. Director, PMO
Function: Project Management / Enterprise Execution / Strategic Initiatives
Location: Remote Based in the US, Preferably in Eastern and Central time zones
Travel: As needed to support project launches, milestone reviews, business leader working sessions, and implementation activities across the business footprint.

Role Summary

The Project Manager is responsible for leading cross-functional projects that translate strategic priorities into clear, actionable, and measurable execution plans. Reporting to the Sr. Director, PMO, this role will help drive disciplined project execution across the organization by defining project scope, milestones, deliverables, owners, risks, decision points, and success metrics.

This role is designed for a highly resourceful, business-minded project leader who can operate effectively in ambiguity, influence without authority, and move seamlessly between strategic thinking and hands-on execution. The Project Manager will partner closely with business leaders, functional leaders, site teams, and initiative owners to ensure work is prioritized, resourced, governed, and executed with focus and accountability.

The role will support execution of the organization's critical priorities by building integrated project plans, establishing governance routines, tracking progress, escalating risks, and helping teams make practical trade-offs between competing priorities. The following role profile emphasizes converting strategic priorities into initiatives with clear outcomes, owners, milestones, and operating cadences, and this Project Manager role is intended to bring that same execution discipline to the PMO.

Key Outcomes

Success in this role will be measured by the Project Manager's ability to create clarity, momentum, and accountability across complex initiatives. Strong performance will be demonstrated when:

• Projects have clear charters, objectives, milestones, owners, deliverables, risks, decision points, and measurable outcomes.
• Project teams understand what is in scope, what is out of scope, what work must stop or shift, and who owns each key action.
• Initiative governance is operating with disciplined cadences, clear escalation paths, and timely decision-making.
• Project risks, dependencies, and resource constraints are surfaced early and actively managed.
• Stakeholders receive clear, concise, and executive-ready communication on project status, progress, risks, decisions, and next steps.
• Projects are connected to business priorities and supported by practical tools, routines, and operating mechanisms that help teams execute consistently.
• Teams remain focused on the "critical few" priorities and avoid fragmentation across disconnected workstreams, consistent with the emphasis in the attached document on narrowing priorities, clarifying ownership, and reinforcing execution through operating routines.

Manage Risk, Issues, Dependencies, and Change

• Ensure communication is clear, timely, and tailored to the needs of different stakeholder groups.

Support Business Prioritization and Value Creation

• Apply strong business and financial acumen to understand how projects support growth, margin improvement, operational performance, productivity, customer outcomes, or organizational effectiveness.

• Use data, metrics, and business insights to inform project decisions, status updates, and recommendations.
• Support project prioritization by helping leaders understand resource needs, trade-offs, timing implications, and execution risks.
• Where applicable, help connect project work to 80/20 thinking, customer/product priorities, operational routines, and value-creation opportunities, reflecting the attached document's focus on using 80/20 principles to support simplification, segmentation, profitable growth, and resource allocation.
