Pilot and Implementation Support: Support the piloting of new processes, coordinating with departments to test initiatives (e.g., streamlined site selection handoffs or automated procurement workflows). Use Excel to create user-friendly templates and tools to facilitate implementation. Change Management and Training: Develop training materials, documentation, and communication plans to ensure successful process adoption across departments. Conduct workshops or training sessions, leveraging Excel-based templates to standardize procedures and track training completion. Adoption Monitoring and Metrics: Track and analyze process adoption metrics (e.g., compliance rates, time savings, or error reductions), using advanced Excel skills to create dashboards and reports. Provide insights to the Process Improvement Manager to refine processes based on feedback and data. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with department leads (e.g., Real Estate, Legal, Construction) to align new processes with operational needs, using Excel-based tools to share updates and gather feedback. Support the Process Improvement Manager in resolving adoption challenges. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed documentation of process designs, pilot results, and adoption outcomes, using Excel for visualizations and reports. Contribute to executive summaries for senior leadership, formatted in Excel for consistency with cross-functional reporting standards.

Qualifications

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. Certifications in process improvement (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma) or change management (e.g., ADKAR, Prosci) are preferred.

Experience:
