Customer Transition Project Manager Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Own the execution of customer-by-customer transition plans from international billing to US subsidiary billing
  • Coordinate with customer account teams to manage account-specific changes such as new supplier/vendor codes, updated PO structures, and EDI reconfiguration
  • Manage cutover timing to avoid disruption in order fulfillment and lead trial runs to validate workflows before go-live
  • Serve as the primary on-ground contact for customer queries and warehouse teams, supporting inventory segregation, WMS setup, and process changes
  • Collaborate with Technology and Finance teams to ensure accurate mapping and testing of PO code and EDI updates
  • Track inventory obsolescence risks and support reconciliation between WMS and SAP systems
