Project Manager - Little Rock, AR

Job Description

You'll join Westrock Coffee's transformation team as a Project Manager driving high-priority initiatives from design through execution. Assignments will shift as business priorities evolve--this is a role for someone who can walk into a new domain, get up to speed fast, and own delivery without needing the scope defined for them in advance. This isn't a coordination role--you're expected to drive outcomes, not just track them.

Job Duties:

• Own end-to-end delivery for assigned initiatives -- scope, plan, execute, and close, with the specific program area determined by current business priority
• Build and maintain project plans, milestone schedules, and RAID logs -- and actively work them, not just maintain them
• Coordinate across cross-functional teams (varies by assignment -- may include Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, IT, Commercial) to keep work moving and decisions made
• Run working sessions -- set the agenda, facilitate the conversation, capture decisions, publish follow-ups
• Produce clear, concise status updates for leadership; flag risks before they become problems
• Validate outcomes and assumptions with stakeholders before they're reported as results
• Escalate blockers before they stall progress, not after
• Move between initiatives as priorities shift, ramping quickly on new domains with minimal onboarding overhead

Qualifications:

• 2--4 years managing complex, cross-functional projects or programs; industry open, but manufacturing, CPG, or supply chain environments a plus
• Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly in unfamiliar domains and operate without a fully defined playbook
• Direct experience running structured initiatives to completion -- not just status reporting
