McKinstry is looking for a Senior Program Manager, Standardization to join our Offsite Manufacturing division in Seattle, WA. The Senior Program Manager – Standardization leads the development, release, and adoption of the business processes that run the business unit and leads execution of the department's technology and business process improvement initiatives. The role's current top priority is leading implementation of Acumatica, the business unit's ERP system — building and maintaining the implementation schedule, providing status updates, and documenting the business process decisions made along the way — with the same playbook applied to future technology and process initiatives.

Beyond named initiatives, the role focuses on business unit processes, especially those that cross functional boundaries where commercial, engineering, supply chain, operations, quality, project management, and finance must hand off work to one another.

• Translate business objectives into standardization objectives and measures with leadership and report progress regularly.
• Advise leaders on where standardization creates leverage and where flexibility should be intentionally preserved.
• Initiative and Implementation Management
• Lead the implementation of Acumatica (ERP), including building and maintaining the implementation schedule and providing regular status updates.
• Apply the same implementation approach — schedule ownership, decision documentation, stakeholder alignment — to future technology and process improvement initiatives.
• Organize and execute department business process improvement initiatives from scoping through completion.
• Draft and propose OKRs for initiatives or execute against and report progress on OKRs set by leadership, depending on the initiative.
• Source, select, and manage contractors and consultants supporting initiatives, owning scope, schedule, and budget for those engagements.

Cross-Functional Process Integration

• Lead standardization of processes that span multiple functions, including order intake and contract-to-production handoff, engineering release and change control, procurement and long-lead material planning, production scheduling and capacity, quality and nonconformance, shipping and field integration, and warranty and closeout.
• Define the inputs, outputs, ownership, and acceptance criteria at each functional handoff so work does not stall or degrade in the gaps between teams.
• Resolve conflicting or duplicative practice between functions, escalating to leadership where process ownership is…
