Job description

We’re looking for a Workforce Scheduling Solution Manager to oversee the delivery of Project Flex, a 3‑year initiative to modernize scheduling for hourly employees across all North American manufacturing plants (US, Canada, Mexico). This role acts as a critical conduit between business, Human Resources (HR), and Digital & Technology (D&T), ensuring the right people and processes are in place for a smooth, timely implementation. This is a new position, reporting to the Project Flex leadership team, with remote flexibility and moderate travel (~25%) to manufacturing sites as needed.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the oversight lead for scheduling software implementation, ensuring all waves of Project Flex meet success criteria.
• Act as the bridge between HR, Supply Chain, and D&T, coordinating cross‑functional teams and aligning stakeholders.
• Ensure the right participants are involved in each discussion—technical, operational, or HR‑related.
• Seek to understand business pain points and opportunities and ensure these are translated into actionable, innovative solution recommendations and technical specifications.
• Maintain project health: track timelines, budgets, risks, and vendor deliverables.
• Support knowledge transfer from the current consultant and ensure smooth operational support post‑launch.
• Build and maintain relationships across HR, supply chain, and D&T to foster adoption, consistency, and efficiency.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Opportunity to shape a key digital transformation in workforce scheduling across all North American plants.
• Collaborate with multiple business functions and a diverse, high‑impact project team.
• Play a pivotal role in improving employee flexibility and operational efficiency.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in HR or Workforce Management implementations, ideally with scheduling or time & attendance systems.
• Strong project management and influencing skills—able to coordinate multiple stakeholders without direct reporting authority.
• Experience with workforce management platforms.
• Ability to manage complex, cross‑functional initiatives, including vendor partnerships.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills.
• Experience in HR, Supply Chain, or Manufacturing environments is highly preferred.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% for site visits and project meetings.

Preferred

• Master’s degree or PMP/SCRUM certification.
• Prior experience in large‑scale HR technology implementations.
• Background in CPG, manufacturing, or supply chain systems.

Additional Considerations

• Please note this role includes ~25% travel within the US.
• International relocation or international remote working arrangements (outside of the US) will not be considered.
• Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. General Mills will not sponsor applicants for a U.S. work visa.
