Business Analyst / Project Manager

Rogue Valley Door

Location: Grants Pass, Oregon Type: Full time/ on site

The role

We build real wood doors in Oregon, and we run a distribution business that gets doors where they need to go. Our software team builds and supports the tools behind both. You stand between operations and the developers and make sure they understand each other.

You'll spend real time on the plant floor and in our distribution operations. You'll watch how work actually moves, talk with the people doing it, dig into the data, and turn what you learn into clear, actionable plans. Sometimes the answer is new software. Sometimes it's a better process on the line, or a better experience for our partners and customers. Then you'll lead the project that gets it done, on time and on budget. The goal is a more efficient business.

If you're the person who walks into a messy situation and leaves it organized, keep reading.

What you'll do

• Learn the operation. Observe manufacturing and distribution processes firsthand, from order entry to delivery. Analyze production, inventory and order data alongside what you see and hear. Find where time, material and effort get lost, and size the problem in numbers.
• Ask good questions. Interview operators, leads, supervisors and, when it helps, customers. Earn their trust. Capture how the work really gets done, not just how it's written down.
• Write it so the team can act on it. Document current processes, pain points and improvement opportunities as process maps, user stories and clear requirements that developers, production leads or customer teams can use.
• Lead the project. Software, production or customer-facing, you plan scope, schedule and budget. Run the team, track progress and deliver on time and on budget.
• Bring order to ambiguity. When goals are fuzzy or people disagree, define the problem, set the structure and get everyone moving the same direction.
• Put effort where it counts. Prioritize time and resources against business priorities. Say no to the right things.
• Use AI tools well. Put tools like Claude to work on research, documentation, analysis and planning. Help the team use them too.
• Close the loop. Make sure what ships actually works on the plant floor and in the warehouse and for our customers. Measure the results and gather feedback for the next round.

What you bring

• 5+ years as a business analyst, project manager or both, ideally in manufacturing or distribution.
• A track record of leading project teams to delivery on time and on budget. Bring examples.
• Real skill at observing processes, interviewing people at every level (plant floor, front office, customers) and analyzing the data behind the work.
• Clear writing. You can turn a 20-minute conversation into a one-page requirement a developer or production lead reads once and understands.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools, especially Claude, and genuine curiosity about what they can do next.
• Comfort with data analysis, process mapping, and requirements
• Sound judgment on priorities. You know the difference between urgent and important.
• Calm in ambiguity. Where others see confusion, you see a starting point.

Nice to have: experience with ERP or MES systems, Lean or Six Sigma training, and/ or a background in wood products or building materials.

You don't need to know doors. We'll teach you that part. We've had some practice.
