IT Project Manager/Workday Release Manager

IT Project Manager/Workday Release Manager

Lineage Logistics is seeking an IT Project Manager/Workday Release Manager to successfully implement large, complex, global technology projects. The role involves coordinating technical and functional resources across multiple teams and often requires working concurrently on several global projects. This role is primarily client-side and focuses on coordinating recurring control activities, supporting audit readiness, and driving structured execution of small-to-medium initiatives across Finance and HR systems.

The ideal candidate is a strong organizer and communicator who can work across technical and business teams, bring structure to evolving processes, and ensure accountability for timelines, documentation, and compliance-related deliverables. This is not a large-scale implementation role it is a hands-on coordination and governance role critical to operational stability and audit readiness. Success in this role requires comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where not all processes are fully defined, and a willingness to help bring structure and consistency over time.

As a company, Lineage aims to develop state-of-the-art systems to make our employees productive, meet and exceed our customers' expectations, assist in our growth, and create an operating platform that enables Lineage to achieve its vision of transforming the global food supply chain. This is one of the most critical roles in that journey, and it will require someone who has a true passion for technology project management.

This is a remote role. We are not sponsoring work authorization for this role.
