Job Description

What You’ll Do:

• Lead complex, cross-functional transformation projects across Accupac’s manufacturing, operations, quality, laboratory, customer service, maintenance, supply chain, IT, and business teams.

• Manage end-to-end project execution, including project scope, planning, timelines, budgets, resources, risks, communication, change management, training, implementation, and post-go-live stabilization.

• Support major business transformation initiatives such as plant transfers, factory capability readiness, ERP implementation, process improvements, operational changes, and multi-department technical projects.

• Partner with manufacturing and site leadership to ensure project plans support safe operations, high-quality production, customer commitments, and continued shipment of products.

• Develop and maintain detailed project roadmaps, timelines, milestones, scorecards, KPIs, action plans, and status reporting to ensure projects stay aligned with business priorities.

• Use Waterfall project management methodologies to manage complex initiatives from planning through execution, implementation, and stabilization.

• Analyze current workflows, systems, and processes to identify bottlenecks, risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

• Work with cross-functional stakeholders to integrate new processes, systems, tools, and operating procedures into daily operations.

• Apply structured change management methods to support employee adoption, reduce resistance, improve communication, and ensure long-term success after implementation.

• Track project performance using project-specific KPIs such as on-time delivery, budget adherence, productivity, quality metrics, adoption, training effectiveness, employee retention, out-of-spec reductions, and other business outcomes.

• Build strong working relationships across departments and influence teams in a matrixed environment without direct authority.

• Communicate project status, risks, decisions, dependencies, and outcomes clearly to leadership, stakeholders, and project teams.

• Support continuous improvement efforts by using data, business insights, and stakeholder feedback to make informed recommendations and drive measurable results.

• Work independently to manage multiple simultaneous projects in a fast-paced, multi-site manufacturing environment.
