The Role:


The Operational Excellence group is looking for an Operations Strategy Associate to help drive Suffolk’s top operational priorities and enable operations to scale effectively as the company pursues ambitious growth.

This role will report to the Ops Excellence Director of Strategy and Change Management and will solve complex operational challenges through a combination of process mapping and design, financial and operational analysis, stakeholder interviews, and structured problem solving. They will assist with managing a portfolio of operational initiatives from start to finish (with a specific eye to coordinating implementation of initiatives) and will be instrumental to the successful adoption of new practices across the organization.

  • Assume full ownership of implementation of key departmental programs to ensure program changes are properly communicated and adopted.
  • Monitor and measure the effectiveness of key change initiatives and identify areas for improvement.
  • In collaboration with Ops Ex leadership, support department annual planning to align department goals and track progress.
  • Manage portfolio of change efforts rolling out to Operations organization, evaluating initiative readiness for rollout, confirm communications plans and timing of initiative change in context of other changes hitting the organization.
  • Partner with business unit leaders to define project objectives and scope, structure project workplans, and develop roadmaps including conducting and guiding analytical support, laying out goals and milestones to get there, and setting metrics to measure results
  • Gather and analyze information through multiple means (data analysis, informational interviews, reports, process mapping) to identify root cause issues and derive actionable insights on key operational issues.
  • Assist in structuring and leading cross-functional discussions to drive alignment and ensure successful initiative adoption across all levels of the org.
  • Build knowledge of Operations team requirements and workflows to develop a sense for practical solutions on job-sites.
  • Prepare and present presentations to senior leadership summarizing findings and recommended actions in a clear and concise manner.


Qualifications


  • A successful candidate would be energetic and creative with a strong ownership mindset and high emotional intelligence.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, STEM field, Construction Management or similar.
  • 2-4 years pre-MBA management consulting or project/program management or construction management
  • Capable of driving work independently both as a project leader and in the context of broader team projects.
  • Ability to break down and solve problems through structured thinking and quantitative analysis to develop creative solutions to analytical, organizational, and behavioral challenges.
  • Results oriented with excellent strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop creative solutions to analytical, organizational, and behavioral challenges.
  • Excellent project management skills with ability to prioritize and drive multiple simultaneous projects.
