• Ensure adherence to established enterprise delivery standards, governance, and applicable safety, security, architecture, and compliance requirements.
• Maintain and promote a strong safety culture and follow all safety policies, procedures, and regulations.

Required Skills

• Proven success leading multiple concurrent, large-scale technology implementations in supply chain, distribution, energy, manufacturing, or other operational environments.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decisions.
• A proactive mindset and the ability to anticipate milestones, risks, dependencies, and resource needs.
• Sound judgment, executive presence, and a consistent focus on accountability and measurable outcomes.

Preferred Skills
