Senior Project Manager, Continuous Improvement at Achieve1

We are seeking a Senior Continuous Improvement (CI) Project Manager who functions as a high-level problem solver and a relentless advocate for efficiency. This isn’t a role for someone who waits for a checklist; it’s for the person who builds the checklist, optimizes it, and then automates it. You will excel in this role if you possess a strong, innate aversion to waste and a deep curiosity about operational processes—specifically, what makes them work and what causes them to fail. Your responsibilities will extend beyond simply managing project timelines; you will be tasked with diagnosing organizational bottlenecks and developing data-backed solutions to eliminate them. You are the catalyst for change, refusing to accept the status quo of "how we’ve always done it." Your role is to strategically streamline operations, eliminate team frustration, and ensure our business maintains a competitive edge by proactively implementing superior processes. What you’ll do: • Execute & Deliver: Own the lifecycle of assigned CI projects from initial scoping to final delivery. You aren't just making suggestions; you're making changes. • Data Stewardship: Act as the point person for data requests. You will partner with our Business Intelligence Team to pull, analyze, and interpret data to validate project impact and identify new opportunities for optimization. • Autonomous Operation: Manage your own desk. We trust you to prioritize your workload and pivot when business needs shift without needing a daily roadmap. • Modernize Workflows: Partner with our AI Center of Excellence to identify areas where entry-level AI tools (LLMs, automation, or basic predictive models) can eliminate manual "busy work." • Continuous Learning: Stay curious. Whether it’s a new software tool or a shift in industry standards, you’re expected to learn the ropes quickly and teach others.
