Strategic Project Manager-North America

Make an Impact With Us

We are seeking individuals whose passion and dedication match the strength and resilience of the work we deliver. The Strategic Project Manager plays a critical role in identifying, shaping, and evaluating high-value strategic initiatives within North America. Based in Houston, TX, this role focuses on the early phases of strategic projects (opportunity assessment, scenario modeling, and business-case development) to ensure initiatives are analytically sound and aligned with strategic priorities before investment or execution decisions are made. The Strategic Project Manager may also lead the end-to-end execution of selected strategic projects as needed.

In addition to shaping individual initiatives, this role contributes to portfolio-level assessment and prioritization, helping the organization allocate resources effectively and pursue the highest-value opportunities.

This position provides an opportunity to influence strategic, financial, and operational outcomes in a dynamic environment. Success requires strong financial and analytical capabilities, clear communication, and the ability to build trusted cross-functional relationships. The individual must be able to deliver superior service and build lasting relationships by demonstrating integrity, transparency, respect, collaboration, and a high standard of professionalism, performance, and responsiveness.
