• Coordinate intake, discovery, prioritization and planning with business owners and COE partners; translate requests into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, decisions and delivery plans.
• Maintain integrated project plans, schedules, decision records, and risk, issue and change logs; monitor progress, manage dependencies and escalate barriers early.
• Coordinate delivery across requirements, solution design, configuration or development, integrations, testing, user acceptance, release readiness, deployment and transition to ongoing support.
• Lead or support requests for proposal (RFPs), including requirements development, vendor coordination, evaluation plans, stakeholder reviews, recommendation documentation and transition into project delivery.
• Manage projects supporting Global and Functional EHS strategic initiatives and goals, aligning objectives, workstreams, milestones, owners and progress measures with business priorities.
• Lead cross-functional coordination across EHS, Technology, Data Analysis and Reporting, Systems, MDM, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Finance, business process owners, site teams and vendors to ensure timely completion of actions, deliverables and decisions.
• Provide project management support to the Data Analysis and Reporting, Systems and MDM teams as needed, including planning, stakeholder coordination, requirements and roadmap tracking, data governance activities, dependency management and delivery follow-through.
• Coordinate organizational change, communications, training, user readiness, deployment readiness, adoption tracking and stakeholder feedback so that new systems, processes and capabilities are embedded effectively.
• Prepare project updates and governance materials, monitor delivery and post-launch outcomes, facilitate lessons learned, and ensure decisions, requirements, testing evidence and handover materials are documented.
• Conduct and facilitate FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) assessments for incoming EHS initiatives to evaluate business need, risk, value, feasibility, dependencies, resource requirements and implementation considerations, using the outcome to support prioritisation and development of the project charter.
