Reporting to the Sr. Director, Supplier Solutions & Implementation, this individual will work cross-functionally across Operations, Technology, Network, Sales, Legal, and Compliance to drive successful outcomes and scalable processes.
This is an ideal opportunity for a strong project leader who thrives in fast-paced, regulated environments, brings structure to ambiguity, and enjoys building repeatable implementation frameworks that support long-term growth.

- Proactively monitor implementation progress against established timelines and deliverables, clearly setting expectations and driving accountability.
- Identify, assess, and escalate risks or blockers; lead conversations to define scope changes, evaluate impacts, and recommend solutions.
- Analyze data and evaluate analyses conducted by others to assess performance, readiness, and post-launch outcomes.
- Prepare clear, concise reports and business cases that synthesize findings and support data-driven decision-making with impacted leaders.
- Identify gaps in processes, workflows, or tools; ensure solutions are developed, documented, and communicated effectively.
- Partner with IT and Operations teams to support system enhancements, process improvements, and operational readiness where required.
- Lead post-implementation reviews and lessons-learned sessions to drive continuous improvement and scalability.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of implementation best practices, templates, and playbooks.
- Perform additional duties as assigned in support of organizational goals.
