Role overview:

The Project Manager for Omang Operations is responsible for the end-to-end ownership, planning, coordination and successful execution of key operational projects across Omang. The role would own all strategic operational projects that support Omang’s growth and scalability

As Omang grows, the role will ensure that new schools can be deployed successfully, large customer orders can be delivered reliably, new operational capabilities can be established efficiently, and the infrastructure required to support a growing Omang network can scale effectively.

The successful candidate will therefore need to be equally comfortable developing a project plan, coordinating senior stakeholders, analysing a process, managing suppliers and budgets, and being on the ground ensuring that an implementation happens successfully.

Ultimately, this role is accountable not simply for coordinating projects, but for driving them through to successful execution and measurable results.

Key Objectives:

• Take end-to-end ownership of assigned operational projects from initial concept and planning through to successful implementation and handover.
• Deliver projects on time, within budget and according to agreed quality standards.
• Lead and coordinate large-scale Omang implementations and deployments.
• Manage the operational execution and deployment of large customer and sales orders.
• Lead projects to establish and improve production, warehousing, stock management and other operational facilities.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, suppliers, customers, schools and other stakeholders to achieve project objectives.
• Identify risks, dependencies and operational challenges and proactively implement solutions.
• Establish effective processes and systems that allow Odin Education's operations to scale efficiently.
• Provide clear project reporting, budget tracking and accountability throughout each project lifecycle.
