- Define and track operational KPIs and dashboards (e.g., Power BI) to support visibility, performance management, and data-driven decisions.
- Apply continuous improvement methods and practical digital tools to improve consistency and scalability of execution across sites.
- Connect site-level initiatives to group objectives and long-term operational performance improvement.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, or related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, operational excellence, or consulting.
- Experience leading, engaging key stakeholders and supporting operational improvement initiatives.
