Beacon Mobility•Bronx, WY

1d•$80,000 - $105,000•Onsite

About The Position

Leesel Transportation Corp., part of Beacon Mobility, is seeking a hands-on Operations Project Manager to support operational improvements, cross-functional initiatives, and technology implementation across its New York region. This onsite, individual-contributor role is based in the Bronx and includes regular travel to operating locations in Brooklyn, Yonkers, and Westchester County. The position combines practical business learning, continuous improvement, project coordination, and adoption of new technology. The successful candidate will work with local managers and frontline teams to understand workflows, identify opportunities, and help turn organizational initiatives into sustainable day-to-day practices. It is not a traditional site general manager or software development role; success relies on understanding people and processes, coordinating stakeholders, and following through until changes are adopted and deliver lasting value. The position is full-time, primarily Monday through Friday, approximately 40 hours per week. Regional field travel and daily priorities may vary based on implementation needs. The annual base salary range is $80,000–$105,000, with a $250 monthly vehicle allowance.

Requirements

Understanding of business operations, process improvement, or project implementation gained through professional experience, internships, cooperative education, academic projects, or comparable hands-on experience.
Strong critical-thinking skills and ability to understand operational workflows, collaborate with stakeholders, and turn ideas into practical solutions.
Ability to build relationships with managers, frontline teams, and cross-functional partners; communicate clearly, secure buy-in, and help changes take hold in daily operations.
Strong organization, communication, and follow-through, with the ability to influence without direct reporting authority.
Comfort learning business software, interpreting existing dashboards and performance data, and supporting team training and technology adoption.
Willingness to learn transportation operations from the ground up, work onsite in the Bronx, and travel regularly to nearby operating locations as project needs change.

Responsibilities

Learn the business firsthand across Bronx, Brooklyn, Yonkers, and Westchester-area operations by observing workflows and identifying recurring friction points.
Partner with site leadership and frontline teams to map processes, investigate root causes, and develop practical improvements aligned with Beacon standards.
Coordinate regional rollouts of approved technology and business systems, including communications, workflow, reporting, and operational tools.
Own implementation plans, milestones, stakeholder communications, training schedules, issue tracking, and post-launch follow-through.
Support adoption of new processes by preparing guidance, training employees and managers, listening to feedback, and resolving barriers.
Interpret existing dashboards and operational performance information to identify trends, assess progress, and communicate recommendations.
