A day in the life.
As our Project Manager on the Operations team, you’ll collaborate closely with internal teams, vendors, and external partners, they serve as the primary point of contact and provide strategic guidance to leadership on project prioritization and realistic execution aligned with regional and national objectives. The Operations Project Manager is a highly autonomous, strategic leader responsible for independently managing and actively participating in multiple complex regional operational projects, including agency management system conversions and business acquisition integrations. This role requires taking full ownership of project planning, scope, resource allocation, risk management, and timeline development, driving initiatives from inception through completion with minimal supervision. The Operations Project Manager engages directly in tasks such as data analysis, system configuration, process redesign, and testing, while proactively identifying potential challenges and developing solutions to ensure seamless technology transitions and operational improvements. Additionally, the role involves leading change management efforts, managing budgets, monitoring progress, and supporting post-implementation activities to foster an initiative-taking, solutions-focused environment that embraces organizational and technological change.
