Growth Program Project Lead

A1 Garage Door Service•Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

The Growth Project Lead drives day-to-day execution for all growth initiatives, including greenfield launches, acquisition integrations, and market expansion projects. This role owns timelines, deadlines, coordination, milestone tracking, and ensuring tasks get completed across departments. The Project Lead reports directly to the Manager, Growth Programs, and works closely with Growth leadership and cross-functional teams to keep projects on schedule, reduce friction, and understand the business context behind the work. This is not a PMI-heavy role. It is a practical, organized, steady operator with enough strategic and business understanding to make good tradeoffs and sequencing decisions, without owning strategy itself.
