This position serves as the central point of accountability for project scope, schedule, budget, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction, directly impacting operational efficiency, customer experience, and digital innovation across the organization.
- • Day-to-day responsibilities include developing and maintaining detailed project plans using industry-standard methodologies (e.g., Waterfall, Agile hybrid), tracking dependencies and resource allocation, identifying and mitigating risks, managing change requests, and ensuring adherence to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The Project Manager facilitates daily stand-ups, weekly status meetings, and executive steering committee sessions, prepares comprehensive status reports, tracks financial performance against budget, and maintains centralized repositories of project documentation, deliverables, and lessons learned.
- • The role requires active collaboration with cross-functional teams including IT, business unit leaders, vendors, contractors, and external stakeholders to gather requirements, validate solutions, and ensure seamless integration of new systems or processes. The Project Manager acts as a liaison between technical teams and business owners, translating complex technical concepts into clear business terms and vice versa, while fostering trust and alignment across diverse groups.
- • Ryder’s PMO operates as a center of excellence, providing structured governance, standardized templates, and best practices that enable consistent project delivery. The Project Manager benefits from being part of a mature project management community that values continuous improvement, data-driven decision-making, and professional development, offering exposure to large-scale, multi-million-dollar initiatives in logistics, transportation technology, and enterprise systems.
- • In this role, the individual will develop advanced competencies in enterprise project leadership, financial stewardship of complex initiatives, stakeholder influence at executive levels, and change management in a matrixed organization. Success in this position can lead to senior leadership opportunities within Ryder’s PMO, IT strategy, or enterprise transformation offices, with the potential to manage enterprise-wide portfolios or mentor junior project managers.

- • Seven (7) or more years of Information Technology experience, with at least five (5) years in a project management or supervisory/management role
- • Proven experience managing large-scale, cross-functional IT projects from vision to implementation, including budget oversight, risk management, and stakeholder engagement
- • Strong proficiency in project management methodologies (e.g., PMI/PMBOK, PRINCE2, Agile frameworks) and tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, Smartsheet)
- • Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences and facilitate executive-level discussions
- • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, matrixed environment with minimal supervision
🏖️ Benefits
- • Comprehensive health and welfare benefits including medical, prescription, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability insurance for full-time employees
- • Paid time off for vacation, illness, bereavement, family and parental leave, plus access to a tax-advantaged 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match
