You’ll bring expertise in management consulting, organizational transformation, governance, change management, and process excellence to help translate business strategy into action.

Join a collaborative, high-impact team working across the organization to advance our position in the automotive, transportation, and logistics industries.

Responsibilities

Transformation Leadership

• Lead enterprise transformation initiatives from initial assessment and problem diagnosis through implementation, change management, and measurable business results.

Drive Cross-Functional Alignment

• Partner with Directors, VPs, and cross-functional leaders to align priorities, resolve competing viewpoints, build consensus, and drive decisions that advance the company's strategic objectives.
• Translate strategic priorities and performance targets into actionable process improvements, organizational changes, and capability development plans. Work backward from desired business outcomes to identify root causes and sustainable solutions.
• Serve as the business counterpart for AI and digital transformation initiatives by defining business problems, establishing process requirements, evaluating proposed solutions with IT and external partners, and driving successful adoption.
• Influence stakeholders across the organization without relying on direct authority, creating alignment and momentum around complex, high-impact initiatives.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and at least 9 years of project/program management experience
• At least 2 years of lead experience

OR

• Master's degree and at least 5 years of project/program management experience
