We are seeking an experienced Supply Chain Project Manager to provide day-to-day project leadership and execution support across a large-scale Supply Chain Transformation initiative. Unlike a narrowly focused warehouse project role, this position will provide oversight across multiple interconnected supply chain work streams, including governance, warehousing, category management and contracts, and broader transformation activities
.

The Project Manager will be responsible for creating structure across the initiative, maintaining visibility into priorities and dependencies, driving cross-functional follow-through, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring that individual work streams remain aligned to the overall transformation roadmap. This person will work closely with supply chain leadership, warehouse operations, category management, procurement, business stakeholders, project teams, vendors, and other transformation partners.

The ideal candidate is a practical, highly organized project leader with strong supply chain experience who can move comfortably between strategic program discussions and detailed day-to-day execution. This role requires someone who can manage multiple concurrent work streams, identify risks and dependencies early, communicate effectively with senior leadership, and maintain momentum in an evolving transformation environment.

• Provide day-to-day project management across multiple Supply Chain Transformation work streams.

• Coordinate activities spanning governance, warehousing, category management, contracts, and related supply chain improvement initiatives.

• Develop and maintain integrated project plans, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and action items.

• Ensure individual work streams remain aligned with broader transformation objectives, timelines, and priorities.

• Translate transformation goals into structured execution plans with clear owners, dates, and expected outcomes.

• Maintain visibility into progress across the organization and elevate issues that could impact delivery.

• Support development and execution of governance processes across the Supply Chain Transformation initiative.

• Establish clear meeting cadences, reporting processes, decision-making structures, and escalation paths.

• Maintain RAID logs, decision logs, action trackers, milestone plans, and other project governance documentation.

• Prepare materials for governance meetings, leadership reviews, and workstream discussions.

• Ensure decisions, dependencies, risks, and actions are documented and followed through to closure.

• Help create consistency in how transformation work streams are managed and reported.

• Coordinate warehouse-related initiatives within the broader supply chain transformation portfolio.

• Partner with warehouse and supply chain stakeholders to track priorities, operational improvements, system dependencies, and implementation activities.

• Support initiatives related to inventory processes, material flow, warehouse technology, data quality, and operational effectiveness.

• Identify dependencies between warehouse initiatives and procurement, category management, technology, engineering, and other business functions.

• Help ensure operational teams are prepared for process and technology changes.

• Provide project management support for category management and contract-related initiatives.

• Coordinate with procurement, sourcing, category leaders, legal, business stakeholders, and vendors as needed.

• Track milestones, risks, decisions, and dependencies associated with sourcing and contracting activities.

• Support alignment between category strategies, operational requirements, and broader transformation priorities.

• Help identify issues that require leadership decisions or cross-functional resolution.

• Serve as a central coordination point across supply chain leadership, warehouse operations, procurement, category management, IT, engineering, finance,…
