Overview

Coborn's is looking for an experienced Project Manager who enjoys bringing people together, creating clarity from complexity, and turning strategic ideas into results. In this highly collaborative role, you’ll lead complex, cross-functional projects that impact our stores, employees, guests, technology, and overall business.

From technology implementations and operational improvements to store initiatives and enterprise-wide transformation, you’ll have the opportunity to lead projects that make a visible difference across Coborn’s.

As our Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of projects from planning through implementation while building strong partnerships across the organization. You will:

• Lead change management and implementation efforts, helping employees and store teams successfully adopt new systems and processes.
• Serve as a connector between frontline teams and support functions, turning operational needs into scalable solutions that improve the employee and guest experience.
• Help strengthen our growing Project Management Office (PMO) by contributing to project management standards, best practices, templates, and processes.
