Business Systems & Project Manager

About this role

About the Client
Our client is seeking a highly organized and execution-oriented Business Systems & Project Manager to support operational improvement initiatives across the business.
This is neither a purely IT-focused role nor a strictly manufacturing-focused position. It is a hands-on operational role suited for someone who can effectively coordinate people, manage priorities, and drive project execution while also improving the digital systems that support day-to-day operations.
The primary focus of this role is ensuring execution through people — creating accountability, assigning ownership, and maintaining follow-through across teams through disciplined project management practices. A secondary focus is business systems analysis, particularly around digital workflows and internal process optimization.
Experience within manufacturing, industrial operations, or engineering-driven environments is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities
Lead internal cross-functional projects from planning stages through successful execution
Translate operational and business requirements into structured workflows, timelines, deliverables, and ownership plans
Coordinate teams and priorities across departments to maintain project momentum
Improve organizational execution through better structure, accountability, visibility, and follow-up
Review existing business processes and identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency
Support the development, optimization, and integration of digital systems across the organization
Enhance internal tools, workflows, reporting structures, and communication processes
Collaborate with leadership to prioritize initiatives and align projects with company objectives
Bridge operational requirements with practical system improvements that are usable and scalable
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within a growing manufacturing business
Requirements
Strong project management experience with a proven ability to drive execution and completion
Experience coordinating teams, deliverables, and priorities across multiple departments
Background in business systems analysis, workflow optimization, process improvement, or systems implementation
Comfortable working with digital platforms, workflow tools, and business software solutions
Ability to convert broad business goals into structured action plans
Strong communication and coordination skills with the ability to move projects forward diplomatically
Strong organizational skills, follow-through, and execution mindset
Experience within manufacturing, industrial operations, engineering support, or production environments is a strong advantage
Experience with ERP systems, CRM platforms, Microsoft 365, workflow management tools, or systems integration is considered beneficial
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is someone who naturally brings structure and organization to fast-moving environments.
They are capable of managing progress and accountability without relying on a large formal team structure.
They understand how to align people, maintain momentum, and ensure execution across departments.
They also recognize that systems and tools only create value when they improve operational execution in a practical way.
This opportunity is well-suited for someone who enjoys helping build stronger operational foundations within a real-world manufacturing environment.

Why Join the Client?
Our client is a growing manufacturing company focused on engineered equipment and continuous operational improvement.
This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by improving both operational execution and the systems that support the business.
If you have strong project execution capabilities, practical business systems thinking, and enjoy helping teams perform more effectively within a manufacturing environment, this could be an excellent opportunity.
