  • Help troubleshoot system or data problems, then coordinate the fix with the right internal teams
  • Partner with stakeholders to define project scope, requirements, and measurable outcomes
  • Communicate project status clearly, including risks, roadblocks, and next steps

  • Conditional formatting, data validation, and error-checking
  • Logical formulas (IF, AND/OR),textand date functions
  • Building clean, reliable trackers and reports that other people can use
  • Comfort working with computer systems and business data (ERP, inventory systems, WMS, or similar)
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities without losing details or deadlines
  • Strong communicationskills, especially when coordinating between departments
  • High standardsfor accuracy, follow-through, and data integrity

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in manufacturing, food/agriculture, consumer products, or distribution environments
  • Experience supporting operations, supply chain, inventory, production planning, or continuous improvement
  • Familiarity with basic project management tools and methods (Smartsheet, Teams, SharePoint, Monday, Asana, etc.)
  • Experience creating SOPs, training guides, and process documentation
  • Intermediate comfort with data cleanup and imports/exports (CSV files, system reports, basic data normalization)

What success looks like in this role

  • Projects move forward on time because you drive them, not because you "check in"
  • Excel tools and reporting become simpler, moreaccurate, and more useful for daily decisions
  • Problems getidentifiedearly, clarified quickly, and resolved with clear ownership
  • Teams trust your work because you are consistent, organized, and practical

Work style and expectations

  • Hands-on, high accountability, and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable working with shop floor reality and real operational constraints
