• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and milestone tracking documentation for complex, non-repeatable assignments across multiple business units.
• May lead small projects independently or own defined portions of larger, cross-functional initiatives.
• Meet regularly with management for general direction and guidance; operate independently on day-to-day project activities within established guidelines and policies.

Operations Partnership & Implementation

• Partner closely with Customer Care operations teams to plan and implement projects, ensuring alignment with contact center objectives and operational realities.
• Identify workflow and process improvement opportunities across contact centers, using data and stakeholder input to prioritize and propose solutions.
• Support the rollout and change management activities associated with new processes, tools, or operational changes.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Communicate project status, milestones, risks, and escalation needs to leadership in a clear, timely, and structured manner.
• Build and maintain productive working relationships with internal stakeholders across business units, including operations, technology, finance, and other cross-functional partners.
• Prepare and present project updates, post-implementation reviews, and reporting summaries for leadership audiences.

Analytics & Data-Driven Decision Making

• Apply strong analytical skills to evaluate project performance, identify trends, and surface insights that support informed decision-making.
• Analyze project outcomes and return on investment (ROI), documenting lessons learned and translating results into actionable recommendations.
• Leverage data to frame problems, evaluate options, and drive solutions within the Customer Care environment.

What you’ll need to be successful:

Required Experience & Skills

• 3 – 5 years of project management experience, preferably in a contact center, customer care, or operations environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex, non-repeatable projects with multiple stakeholders and workstreams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with experience using data to drive decisions and measure outcomes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to tailor messaging for both operational teams and senior leadership.
• Proven ability to build collaborative working relationships and influence cross-functionally without direct authority.
• Comfortable working independently and managing competing priorities with moderate supervision.
