JOB PURPOSE

This role exists to provide high-impact leadership with the opportunity to shape the future of manufacturing performance at the site level and beyond.

You’ll be part of a team that believes in doing work that matters — for people and the planet.

Because here, we don’t just hire for jobs. We invite you to be part of something bigger.

You will play a critical strategic leadership role in accelerating site performance by embedding a culture of continuous improvement, capability building, and operational rigor. This leader drives the end-to-end deployment of World Class Manufacturing (WCM) and MANEX methodologies, transforming how losses are identified, eliminated, and prevented while building a high-performing, future-ready manufacturing organization.

You will lead the development and execution of a site-wide Manufacturing Excellence Master Plan, enabling sustainable improvements in key performance indicators such as OEE, Manufacturing Performance (MP), Output Reliability (OR), and Cost per Tonne (CPT). Acting as a trusted partner to Site Leadership, SU Directors, and global MANEX stakeholders, you will ensure alignment between strategy and execution while delivering measurable business impact.

This role also leads the evolution of the site’s People Training Platform, ensuring training systems, governance, and capability-building processes are fully aligned with WCM standards and performance priorities—driving measurable improvements in workforce capability, certification, and operational readiness.

Also, this role provides dotted-line oversight to Category Engineering, ensuring strong alignment between the factory, R&D, and the innovation teams and manufacturing excellence initiatives. All operational and technical capability development will transition under the leadership of the WCM pillar structure, ensuring standardized, scalable, and sustainable capability building.

Enable Capability & Culture

Build organizational capability by embedding WCM tools, problem-solving methodologies, and a continuous improvement mindset
Deliver coaching and structured development through WCM pillars (with all operational and technical training governed through WCM)
Lead site maturity assessments and close capability gaps to world-class benchmarks

Deliver People Training Platform Results

Provide leadership oversight to the Training Supervisor, ensuring alignment of training delivery with WCM pillar standards and site priorities
Own and continuously improve the site training platform (e.g., LMS or digital learning systems) to ensure effective tracking, compliance, and capability progression
Establish a standardized training governance system, including skills matrices, certification processes, and capability roadmaps
Ensure training programs are tightly linked to loss elimination, performance improvement, and technical skill development
Drive adoption of modern learning methods (e.g., digital learning, on-the-job qualification, and structured certification pathways)
Partner with HR and global learning teams to align site capability development with enterprise frameworks

Execute High-Impact Improvement Programs

Lead and support implementation of key initiatives such as SMED, center-lining, and Kaizen events
Facilitate and ensure success of RVS/PG activities
Identify and deploy emerging CI tools, digital solutions, and best practices

Partner & Influence Across the Network

Collaborate with Site Leadership, SU Directors, MANEX teams, Engineering, and global stakeholders
Provide dotted-line guidance and alignment to Category Engineering to ensure integration of engineering and operational excellence priorities
Share and implement best practices across sites and geographies
