Customer Onboarding Project Manager, Strategic Accounts

This role owns onboarding milestones, coordinated intercompany account-transfer plans, and cross-functional execution across Sales, Customer Service, Plant Operations, and IT/Systems. Success requires strong influence without direct authority, proactive risk management, and the ability to align stakeholders so new business and transitioning business are brought online smoothly and without service disruption.
