7+ years in Program/Portfolio Management, Operations Strategy, or Continuous Improvement, ideally within a large-scale manufacturing environment.
Project Management Professional (PMP) highly preferred.
Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt or Black Belt) strongly recommended given the focus on cost savings, scrap reduction, and quality.
Deep financial acumen with a proven ability to bridge operational metrics and P&L impacts.
Expertise in PMO governance, standard reporting (STD), and pipeline development.
Executive-level communication skills to interface with Senior Leadership, Finance, and Plant-level leadership.

Responsibilities

Break down top-level "WISH" board commitments into target savings categories.
Cultivate, mature, and track project opportunities through the intake process and ECHO Tracker management.
Ensure process adherence and deliver weekly/monthly Standard (STD) reporting on portfolio health.
Work deeply with Finance to ensure project savings translate to actual P&L performance.
Monitor ongoing operations and P&L metrics to identify and mitigate standard operational leakage that offsets project gains.
Lead weekly run-rate updates and monthly governance reviews across the North America Zone, Plant, and Product Family levels.
Ensure metric alignment for MBOs/Policy Deployment and provide triage recommendations when targets are at risk.
Manage and refine PM playbooks and PMO policy development.
Conduct PM skills assessments (Supply Chain) and lead PM 101 Training to elevate the organization's overall project management maturity.
Mature programs with capability to pivot focus as necessary and potentially offload them to standard operations as run-ready packages, freeing capacity for new strategic priorities.
