Join a Company that Empowers you to Build your Future

At Lennar, we are focused on continuously improving how we deliver technology solutions, operational excellence, and enterprise value across the organization. The Project Manager II, Continuous Improvement is part of the Operational Excellence (OpEx) team and will play a critical role within Lennar Technology Group (LTG), partnering closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to identify, drive, and sustain process improvement initiatives that increase efficiency, scalability, transparency, and delivery effectiveness.

The goal of the OpEx team is to solve real process problems quickly while building a repeatable, standing capability. The Project Manager II, Continuous Improvement is a cross-trained member of this team who rotates across three disciplines: Process & Lean, Performance & CI, and Standards & Sustainment. Every improvement cycle uses all three, so each win is diagnosed, measured, and standardized rather than only delivered.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Process & Lean

Facilitate process-mapping sessions, Kaizen bursts, and workshops with process owners and cross-functional teams (business, technology, architecture, PMO, testing, and vendors)

Document current-state and future-state workflows and finalize the future-state process

Identify operational inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and dependencies that affect delivery outcomes

Performance & CI

Pull and analyze operational data to establish baselines, run root-cause analysis, and prioritize fixes

Tag candidate savings as hard cost, cost avoidance, or capacity so results can be validated by Finance; flag metrics with no data source and instrument a proxy or reclassify as qualitative

Validate gains with before/after data, and define measurement strategy and dashboard requirements that support leadership decisions, partnering with BI resources on executive-level views

Standards & Sustainment

Turn validated improvements into SOPs and publish them to the Process Governance & Standards library

Train process owners and drive adoption of new processes and tools; schedule and run sustainment reviews

Own and maintain the CI team repository, including templates, playbooks, engagement artifacts, and institutional knowledge, to support team scalability and continuity

Team and Capability

Rotate through all three lead roles and cross-train teammates so no one person is a single point of failure

Document and refine the cycle method after each engagement so the next one runs faster

Manage day-to-day relationships with process owners and SMEs within a cycle; escalate to the OpEx Manager for a missing or unwilling process owner, unresolved cross-functional conflict, decisions beyond team authority, or stakeholder sessions that keep slipping

Support the OpEx Manager with wins communication, visibility, and intake by contributing results, findings, and recommendations that inform leadership prioritization of the backlog

Identify Digitize or Automate needs and route them to the Long-Term Project framework

Balance cycle work with business-as-usual responsibilities within the team’s protected-time commitments

Contribute to longer-term enablement, including a process-owner certification ladder and an LTG community of practice

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, Operations, or a related field preferred

5+ years of experience in Continuous Improvement, Process Improvement, Operational Excellence, PMO, or related disciplines

Required: hands-on Lean experience, demonstrated by Lean or Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher preferred) or by leading Kaizen events, process mapping, and root-cause analysis

Working-level skill in all three disciplines: facilitation and future-state design; data analysis, baselining, and before/after validation; and SOP authoring, training, and sustainment

Experience quantifying benefits and distinguishing hard cost, cost avoidance, and capacity, ideally with Finance validation

Experience supporting enterprise technology organizations and cross-functional initiatives

Ability to deliver within a time-boxed cycle, manage more than one initiative at a time, and escalate using defined triggers

Willingness to cross-train, coach others, and rotate roles

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Familiarity with tools such as Lucid, GitHub, ServiceNow, Jira, Azure DevOps, and Power BI is preferred

Plus: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, PMP, Agile, or other CI certifications; understanding of Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery methods

Root-cause analysis and data-driven decision making

Savings quantification and KPI development

Cross-functional facilitation

Risk and dependency management

What Success Looks Like
