Growth Program Project Lead

The Growth Project Lead drives day-to-day execution for all growth initiatives, including greenfield launches, acquisition integrations, and market expansion projects. This role owns timelines, deadlines, coordination, milestone tracking, and ensuring tasks get completed across departments. The Project Lead reports directly to the Manager, Growth Programs, and works closely with Growth leadership and cross-functional teams to keep projects on schedule, reduce friction, and understand the business context behind the work.

This is not a PMI-heavy role. It is a practical, organized, steady operator with enough strategic and business understanding to make good tradeoffs and sequencing decisions, without owning strategy itself.

What You Do

Project Execution & Timeline Ownership

• Build, manage, and maintain project timelines for integrations and greenfield locations.
• Track milestones and follow up with functional teams on outstanding items.
• Identify delays or gaps early and escalate when needed.
• Keep projects moving by pushing daily and weekly execution rhythms.
  
  

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work with Ops, HR, Finance, IT, Marketing, Fleet, Legal, and others to ensure each workstream completes tasks on time.

Risk & Issue Management

Support for Integrations & Greenfields

• Ensure tasks from due diligence, onboarding, launch, and stabilization phases stay on schedule.
• Coordinate with the Program Manager to make sure new markets and acquisitions get what they need.
