About the role
- As Principal Program Manager, Project Schedules, you will serve as the connective tissue between construction, automation technology, and operations-ensuring every workstream, dependency, and milestone is visible, accurate, and progressing.
- This is not a passive coordination role.
Responsibilities
- Schedule Ownership: Build, maintain, and govern integrated master schedules across all active warehouse projects spanning pre-construction, construction, automation installation, and operational readiness ensuring every schedule reflects ground truth, not optimism.
- Construction & Automation Coordination: Partner with architects (AOR), general contractors, automation vendors & integrators, and internal stakeholders to align construction milestones with technology installation sequences across both SPEC and greenfield projects.
- Tempo & Accountability: Drive a disciplined cadence of schedule reviews, input validation, and stakeholder commitments, challenging inputs that lack precision and creating a culture where schedule integrity is a shared responsibility.
- Executive Reporting: Prepare and deliver high-quality, senior-leader-ready reporting that translates complex, multi-site schedule data into clear status, risk, and decision narratives, serving as the authoritative voice on where every project stands.
- Dependency & Risk Management: Map and manage cross-site and cross-functional dependencies, maintaining a live risk register that anticipates schedule threats and documents mitigation strategies.
- Expert-level experience building and managing integrated master schedules using tools such as Smartsheet, Quickbase, Microsoft Project, or comparable scheduling platforms-including critical path method (CPM) analysis.
- Greenfield & SPEC Familiarity: Hands-on experience navigating the distinct scheduling dynamics of both greenfield development and SPEC building deployments, including permitting, shell delivery, and tenant improvement sequencing.
- Build, maintain, and govern integrated master schedules across all active warehouse projects spanning pre-construction, construction, automation installation, and operational readiness ensuring every schedule reflects ground truth, not optimism.

Requirements
- Your work will be highly visible to senior leadership, and your ability to translate complex, multi-threaded project data into clear executive narratives will be as important as your command of the schedule itself.
