• Manage all facets of project delivery from planning and design through construction, occupancy, and closeout across Ripple's growing global footprint.
• Lead and manage outsourced delivery teams—architects, engineers, cost consultants, third-party project managers, general contractors, and vendors—holding them accountable to design intent, budget, and schedule commitments.
• Define project charter, develop scope of work, budget, schedule, procurement and delivery strategies, and cash flow.

• Lead bid leveling and negotiate contract terms with consultants, contractors, and vendors.
• Own project budget and schedule end-to-end, developing cost estimates, tracking spend and progress, and reporting variances with corrective action plans.
• Manage the change control process, assessing impacts to scope, budget, schedule, quality, and risk.
• Administer project financial workflows for purchasing, change orders, and payments in conjunction with Accounts Payable and FP&A.
• Identify project risks and develop mitigation and contingency plans, maintaining the project risk register.
• Operate within Ripple's project governance framework, maintaining documented approvals and auditable records.
• Prepare and present status updates, budget summaries, and risk assessments to internal leadership.
This role requires willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 35% of the time.
