About The Position

The Business Transformation Project Manager serves as a versatile, cross-functional contributor responsible for driving business transformation initiatives from concept through implementation. This role blends three core skill sets: project management discipline (planning, governance, risk, execution), business analysis rigor (process mapping, requirements gathering, and process documentation), and communications expertise (stakeholder engagement, visual communications). The successful candidate is as comfortable crafting a concise executive briefing as they are facilitating a requirements workshop or managing a project plan, and understands that clear, strategic communication is as critical to project success as sound execution.
