Supporting McDonald’s U.S. Supply Chain
Role Overview
McClement is seeking a Project Manager to track and support the day-to-day execution of digitalization initiatives of the US McDonald’s supply chain.
This role will operate at the center of the program—ensuring milestones are met, dependencies are managed, and stakeholders remain aligned across McDonald’s, suppliers, and DCs and restaurants. Responsibilities include driving the execution across digital workstreams, supplier onboarding, distribution center (DC) rollouts, restaurant integration along with the deployment of system wide digital tools.

This role ensures the program stays on track—keeping teams aligned, removing blockers, and driving progress against critical deployment milestones.
