- Develop and maintain stakeholder communication plans that define meeting cadence, reporting expectations, escalation paths, decision owners, and communication needs for business leaders, operational partners, and project teams.
- Serve as the day-to-day communication lead for assigned projects, ensuring business partners and impacted stakeholders remain informed, consulted, and aligned throughout planning, execution, occupancy, and closeout.
- Partner with Operations, Facilities, Safety, Security, and business leaders to minimize disruption and ensure project goals are achieved, while proactively identifying adoption, change-management, and communication needs that could impact operational readiness.
- Review contractor and consultant performance, track deliverables, and ensure compliance with contractual requirements and company standards.
- Build trusted relationships with business unit leaders, site leadership, functional partners, and external providers by listening to business needs, managing expectations, and resolving concerns in a timely and transparent manner.
- Ensure projects comply with applicable building codes, safety requirements, regulatory requirements, and McKesson policies.
- Drive continuous improvement in project management processes, project controls, and supplier performance.
Minimum requirements:
- 7+ years of experience managing commercial, industrial, distribution, warehouse, manufacturing, healthcare, or large-scale corporate facility projects.
