Project Manager Supply Chain Management

Job Description-

We need structure builders and facilitators who keep complex, cross functional work on track. They don’t own the content, our SMEs and initiative leads do. These PMs own the plan, cadence, clarity, and follow through for their workstream, and ensure clean reporting into the overall program.

• Maintain charters, milestone plans, RAID/decision logs

• Track actions to closure and hold owners accountable

• Coordinate cross functionally and manage dependencies

• Prepare initiative-level reporting that rolls up to the Program Manager

• Keep the initiative aligned to scope, timeline, and value targets

What They Don’t Do

• Not the SME

• Not the content or solution owner

• Not the executive-facing spokesperson

• Not strategy definition — execution and structure only

Three Must Have Skill Areas

• Governance & Structure: charters, milestone plans, RAID, RACI, decision logs, cadence

• Facilitation & Accountability: drive productive sessions, land decisions, track to closure

• Reporting & Integration: clean updates, roll-up reporting, risks/issues, progress vs. plan

Nice-to-Have

• Supply Chain or Tech Ops familiarity

• Lean/CI/KPI/value-capture exposure

• Light business case/KPI support

Managers Comment:
