• Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and drive execution without direct authority.
• Experience presenting to managers, directors, and executive leadership.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within automotive or large-scale manufacturing organizations.
• Experience managing projects involving enterprise application integrations.
• Experience with business process automation and operational improvement initiatives.
• Background as a Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, Functional Consultant, Technical Lead, or similar role prior to moving into Project Management.
• Familiarity with business intelligence, reporting, analytics, and dashboard initiatives.
• PMP, PMI-ACP, Scrum Master, or related certification.

Typical Project Portfolio

Projects may include:

• SAP, QAD, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Siebel enhancements
