I managed the scheduling and some logistical and communication aspects for two projects in a multi-million dollar technology refresh program. I also coordinated the internal project teams, five different external vendors, and retail locations across the US and Canada to ensure that the upgrade efforts were scheduled and executed at a steady cadence, with sensitivity to changing time zones, international holidays, and corporate blackout periods. Planned work frequently exceeded 200 activities a week, was initially scheduled at least three weeks in advance, and required continuous auditing to ensure all teams stayed aligned amidst shipping delays and store level escalations. My biggest contributions in this role were: * Improving program success rate by 20% by implementing and enforcing clear operational and communication policies and procedures. * Composing a weekly report on planned and forecasted work to my Sr. Director for use in presentations to the CIO.* Starting an initiative to pre-emptively clear paperwork obstacles from the project time line and reduce lag time to completion.
