Essential Duties & Responsibilities



Operational Process Ownership & Improvement


+ Serve as the primary owner for documenting, analyzing, and improving operational processes from an enterprise-wide perspective, including current- and future-state workflows, gap analyses, and transition roadmaps.

+ Identify inefficiencies, risks, and improvement opportunities by synthesizing data from multiple sources and applying industry best practices and operational benchmarks.

+ Translate complex operational requirements and process gaps into actionable improvement plans, pilot programs, and clearly defined success metrics for implementation and validation.


Independent Analysis & Judgment


+ Operate with minimal supervision, independently prioritizing work and determining appropriate analytical approaches within broad organizational guidelines and standards.

+ Solve complex, often ambiguous operational problems by exercising judgment, evaluating trade-offs, and taking new perspectives on existing solutions.

+ Perform operational data analysis including KPI tracking, throughput measurement, resource utilization, and capacity modeling to support informed decision-making and continuous improvement efforts.


Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence


+ Lead small to mid-sized operational improvement initiatives or workstreams with manageable scope, risk, and resource requirements.


+ Consult and partner with business stakeholders, Operations leadership, Project Management, and functional teams throughout process improvement initiatives and drive recommendations to meet needs outlined in project and operational scope.


+ Influence without authority to drive process adoption, standardization, and sustained improvements across teams.


Business Acumen & Enterprise Impact


+ Apply an understanding of how operational processes integrate across functions and contribute to broader organizational performance, scalability, and differentiation.

+ Evaluate improvement opportunities in the context of downstream impacts, customer experience, and operational effectiveness.

+ Ensure process designs and recommendations align with both internal operational goals and external best practices.


Documentation, Standards & Quality


+ Develop and maintain high-quality operational documentation including SOPs, process maps, workflows, dashboards, and supporting materials in designated systems of record.

+ Participate in quality management reviews to ensure operational procedures, process designs and improvement initiatives to ensure alignment with organizational standards and efficiency goals.

+ Review operational deliverables for completeness, quality, and adherence to established performance and process standards.


Communication & Collaboration


+ Communicate complex, technical, or sensitive operational findings and recommendations clearly and constructively to diverse audiences, from front-line staff to executive leadership.

+ Facilitate discussions and workshops to build consensus among stakeholders with differing priorities and perspectives.

+ Act as a subject matter resource and informal mentor to colleagues and business partners with less experience in process analysis or operational design.


Ad-hoc & Strategic Support


+ Provide ad-hoc analytical reporting, operational insights, and decision support to business units and leadership as needed.

+ Contribute to the evolution of operational process frameworks, documentation standards, and continuous improvement methodologies.


Education & Experience



+ 5–7 years of progressive experience in Operations, Process Improvement, Business Analytics, or a related discipline within enterprise or large-scale environments.

+ Demonstrated end-to-end experience supporting operational implementations or transformations, including exposure to enterprise systems such as SAP, Salesforce, or MS Dynamics.

+ Experience with cross-functional process integration and operational data flows, including the use of reporting and analytical tools to analyze performance trends, identify gaps, and support operation and leadership decision making.

+ Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, or a related field required.

+ Advanced problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize multiple data sources into clear, actionable recommendations.

+ Strong business acumen, including knowledge of operational best practices and how process performance drives organizational outcomes.

+ Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver results in a fast-paced operational environment.

+ Proven capability to lead defined initiatives, influence stakeholders, and act as a trusted operational advisor.

+ Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex or sensitive information and build alignment.

+ High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a disciplined approach to documentation and standards.
