What will you do

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business System Leader to drive the evolution and deployment of the Johnson Controls Business System across the EMEA region.

How will you do it

Champion and continuously evolve the Johnson Controls Business System across the EMEA Domain
Partner closely with the Domain VP/GM to align business system deployment with strategic priorities or have end-to-end ownership of simplifying one of the Core Value Streams.
Act as a system steward and cultural architect, driving consistency, rigor, and maturity across the Domain
Lead, coach, and develop a team of Business System Leaders, elevating both Lean expertise and leadership capability
Provide hands-on coaching in Kaizen leadership, structured problem solving, and performance delivery
Build a strong succession pipeline of high-performing BSL talent
Partner with Domain leadership to build, prioritize, and actively manage the Kaizen funnel aligned to strategic objectives
Ensure a robust pipeline of improvement initiatives that deliver high-value business impact
Drive execution discipline and hold teams accountable for value realization and outcomes
Establish and reinforce high standards for structured problem solving (A3 thinking, root cause validation, countermeasure effectiveness)

Drive measurable outcomes across growth, productivity, margin, cash flow, and customer experience
Partner with senior leadership to identify opportunities and remove systemic barriers to execution
Ensure effective deployment of Daily Management systems, with clear linkage between KPIs, strategy, and improvement activity
Drive standardization of visual management, accountability routines, and escalation processes
Regularly assess and improve business system effectiveness and maturity
Ensure alignment of JCBS deployment across functions, regions, and value streams
Drive end-to-end value stream optimization, eliminating siloed improvements
Align digital transformation initiatives with Lean principles to avoid automating waste

What we are looking for

Extensive experience in Lean, Business System, or Operational Excellence leadership, ideally in a regional or enterprise scope
Proven track record of delivering sustained, measurable business impact in complex, matrixed organizations
Experience partnering with and influencing senior executives (VP/GM level and above)
Demonstrated success leading large-scale transformation and capability-building initiatives
Strong track record in leading and developing leaders, with the ability to act as a coach of leaders
Exceptional stakeholder management with the ability to challenge and influence at senior levels
Strong strategic mindset combined with execution excellence and operational discipline
