Project Manager
Transportation Equipment Network (TEN)
Location: Dublin, OH 

Build the Future of Transportation Equipment Leasing

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a highly motivated and results-driven Project Manager to join our newly established Project Management Office (PMO).

This is more than a traditional project coordination role. We are seeking a strategic thinker and execution-focused leader who can independently manage complex cross-functional initiatives, align stakeholders, and drive meaningful business outcomes across the organization.

The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving complex problems, and is energized by helping build structure, process, and scalability within a growing organization.

• Coordinate work across departments while managing dependencies and competing priorities.
• Proactively identify obstacles and implement solutions to keep projects on track.

Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary point of contact for project stakeholders, senior leaders, department heads, and external partners.
• Facilitate meetings, drive decision-making, and ensure accountability for project deliverables.
• Communicate project status, risks, and recommendations clearly and effectively.
• Build strong relationships and influence outcomes without direct reporting authority.

Risk, Budget & Resource Management

• Identify potential project risks and develop mitigation strategies.
• Escalate issues with clear analysis and recommended solutions.
• Manage project budgets, monitor variances, and recommend corrective actions when necessary.
• Oversee vendor relationships and ensure external partners meet expectations.
• Drive cost efficiencies without sacrificing quality or timelines.

PMO Development & Process Improvement

• Contribute to the design and development of PMO methodologies, standards, tools, and reporting frameworks.
• Establish repeatable project management processes that support organizational growth.
• Conduct post-project reviews, document lessons learned, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support change management activities associated with project implementation.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business administration, Operations Management, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of project management, business operations, or related experience.
• Proven success leading complex, cross-functional projects involving multiple stakeholders.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to influence, collaborate, and drive accountability across teams.
• Proficiency with project management tools such as Monday.com, Smartsheet, Asana, Jira, or similar platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent project management certification.

Leadership Expectations

Successful candidates will:

• Take ownership and drive results without waiting for direction.
• Hold teams accountable through collaboration, persistence, and constructive escalation.
• Demonstrate strong business judgment and decision-making skills.
• Remain calm, organized, and solutions-oriented under pressure.
• Embrace change and help build scalable processes that support company growth.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Primary work location is Dublin, Ohio.
