IT Project Manager — Distribution & Logistics

Role Name: IT Project Manager — Distribution & Logistics

Location: Remote

Role Overview:

The IT Project Manager (D&L) leads end‑to‑end delivery of technology projects across Levi’s global distribution network—planning, orchestrating, and executing initiatives from discovery through hypercare. The role partners closely with D&L leadership and the Digital & Technology PMO, ensuring portfolio alignment, stakeholder engagement, and measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own full project lifecycle (initiation → planning → build → test → cutover → stabilization/hypercare) for D&L technology projects
• Plan and run hybrid Agile/Waterfall delivery, using tools like Smartsheet and Jira; drive RAID management, stage gates, and executive-ready status communications.
• Coordinate cross‑functional stakeholders across DC Operations, Supply Chain, PMO, and Corporate Finance.
• Lead vendor/partner management (e.g., 3PL providers and their IT teams) through contracts, change requests, SLAs, and operational readiness; track incident and change pipelines through hypercare to “path-to-green.”
• Drive integrations across platforms such as Manhattan Active WMS, SAP S/4HANA, Infor Nexus, EDI, and related product creation systems (e.g., Trasix) where D&L workflows intersect.
• Budget & forecast ownership in partnership with PMO and Finance, managing PERs, RITMs, and WBS allocations per established approval processes.
• Risk, compliance, and controls: ensure auditability, change governance, and data/security standards are met across DC environments.

Required Qualifications:

• 7–10+ years managing complex IT projects in distribution, logistics, or supply chain environments with multi‑site DC operations.
• Proven delivery across WMS/TMS/ERP/EDI landscapes; hands‑on experience coordinating cutovers and hypercare for DC projects
• Experience with Manhattan Active WMS, SAP S/4HANA, Infor Nexus, Kronos/UKG, Jira, Smartsheet, and ServiceNow a plus.
• Strong vendor management (SOWs, CRs, SLAs), stakeholder communication, and executive reporting skills.
• Excellent RAID discipline and ability to translate operational constraints into technical plans.

Core Competencies:

• Delivery Leadership: clear ownership of scope, schedule, budget; disciplined change control.
• Stakeholder Engagement: builds trust with DC Ops, Finance, PMO, and executive sponsors; concise, data‑driven updates.
• Technical Acumen: understands DC systems and integration touchpoints to challenge assumptions and de‑risk plans.
• Operational Mindset: designs cutover/hypercare plans that protect service levels and customer commitments.
• Continuous Improvement: uses metrics to drive throughput, accuracy, and cost efficiency.

Travel & Location

• Ability to travel to DCs and partner sites as needed to support cutovers and hypercare a plus.
