Project Manager

Job Summary:

• Client is seeking an on-site, bilingual Project Manager to own the Infrastructure workstream in Tijuana, working hand-in-hand with other infrastructure PMs and SMEs.

Responsibilities:

• Integrated planning: Own the Infrastructure plan across all phases; break down the roadmap into clear milestones, tasks, owners and dates, keep it aligned with the overall program plan, and track to it in the enterprise PPM tool.
• Dependency management: Proactively identify and manage cross-workstream dependencies (cloud build, network/SD-WAN/firewall, identity/IAM, security, HR systems, ERP, manufacturing systems) and elevate early with options.
• Cross-project coordination: Work hand-in-hand with peer PMs on parallel initiatives (e.g., new facility build-out, HR system integration); maintain a shared view of interlocks, align milestones and cutover windows, and resolve conflicts jointly.

• Vendor and SOW management: Coordinate multiple implementation partners; track SOWs, POs and deliverables against plan.
• On-site stakeholder engagement: Serve as the local delivery lead with plant, IT, HR and business teams in Tijuana; work directly with Spanish-speaking stakeholders and vendors to remove blockers quickly.
• Status and governance: Provide concise weekly status, RAID logs and milestone reporting to program leadership; bring issues forward with impact and recommended actions, without waiting to be asked.
• Operational transition: Ensure as-built documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer and support hand-off to operations teams are completed and accepted.
• Financials: Track effort, vendor spend and forecast-at-completion; flag variances early.

• Fluent English and Spanish; able to run meetings and documentation in both
• Based in Tijuana and able to work on-site at our facilities

Nice to Have:
