You will be an experienced Continuous Improvement, Operational Excellence, Manufacturing Transformation, PMO or Performance professional, with a strong track record of delivering change within a manufacturing or similarly complex operational environment.
You will understand how to turn strategy into practical execution and will be comfortable operating across multiple functions, priorities and projects. Strong project and programme management capability will be important, together with experience of driving measurable performance improvement.
You will bring a strong understanding of Continuous Improvement and Lean methodologies, with the ability not only to apply improvement tools yourself but to engage, coach and influence others to adopt new ways of working.
Experience of Smart Factory, manufacturing digitalisation, Industry 4.0 or data-led performance improvement would be highly valuable, particularly where you have helped translate technology into tangible operational benefits.
Analytically strong and commercially aware, you will be comfortable working with performance measures, budgets and complex information, using insight to identify opportunities and support effective decision-making.
Just as importantly, you will be a strong communicator and change leader. You will be able to build credibility from the shop floor through to senior leadership, challenge constructively and bring different stakeholders together around a common objective.
Above all, you will combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to delivery. You will be passionate about improving performance, developing capability and creating sustainable change within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
