  • Lead Project Planning & Execution: Develop and manage project plans for complex, cross-functional transformation initiatives across Quality, Engineering, Product Development, Manufacturing, and other functional areas. Define scope, deliverables, milestones, dependencies, owners, and decision points to drive successful execution.
  • Manage Schedules & Critical Path Activities: Create and maintain baseline schedules, monitor progress against milestones, evaluate schedule logic and critical path activities, identify delays, and coordinate recovery actions to protect project commitments.
  • Manage Risks, Issues & Dependencies: Own R.A.I.D. logs for assigned projects by identifying risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies; assessing potential impacts; assigning owners; tracking mitigation actions; and escalating unresolved concerns.
  • Analyze Project Performance: Review project data, milestones, deliverables, and performance indicators to identify execution gaps, emerging concerns, trends, and opportunities for corrective action.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate activities across functional teams, facilitate project meetings and working sessions, clarify responsibilities, resolve barriers, and drive accountability toward agreed project objectives.
  • Prepare Executive Reporting & Decision Support: Develop clear, concise executive presentations, status reports, dashboards, and decision materials that communicate project health, accomplishments, risks, schedule impacts, recommendations, and decisions required from leadership.
  • Apply TMO Standards & Project Management Best Practices: Apply the TMO Framework, project-management tools, templates, and governance practices to promote consistent planning, reporting, decision-making, and execution discipline.
  • Coach and Build Project Management Capability: Teach and coach employees who do not have formal project-management backgrounds on project planning, scheduling, R.A.I.D. management, action tracking, meeting facilitation, status reporting, and other project-management best practices.
  • Support TMO Business Office Operations: Support the TMO’s operating rhythm through governance coordination, planning activities, communications, tools, templates, training materials, documentation, and other priorities that enable effective project execution.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve project-management processes, eliminate unnecessary work, strengthen transparency, and improve the TMO’s ability to deliver transformation initiatives.

  • Agility & Adaptability: Proven ability to move between different projects and quickly learn new technical or functional domains based on organizational need.
  • Strong Project Communication and Influence: Ability to translate complex project information into clear, actionable guidance for project teams and concise, high-impact status updates for leadership. Demonstrated ability to drive alignment and influence cross-functional partners without direct authority.
  • Strong Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proven ability to build strong relationships, foster collaboration, and drive alignment across departments and functional teams.
