portfolio.* Produce and maintain process artifacts including SIPOC diagrams, swim-lane maps, RACI matrices, control plans, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) at the appropriate level of fidelity

automation initiatives, ensuring solutions accurately reflect the intended process logic.* Establish monitoring frameworks and KPI dashboards to measure automation performance, exception rates, and business value realization post-deployment.* Champion intelligent automation adoption and change management within impacted business units, including stakeholder communication plans, training design, and user acceptance coordination.* Continuous Improvement and Performance Management* Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma DMAIC, Design for Six Sigma, or equivalent) to diagnose systemic process failures and drive measurable, sustained improvement.* Own the performance scorecard for assigned process domains, tracking metrics such as quote to cash, on-time delivery, first-pass yield, cycle time, cost-of-poor-quality (COPQ), and customer satisfaction indices.* Facilitate and lead kaizen events, process improvement workshops, and cross-functional war rooms when operational disruptions require rapid corrective action.* Build and maintain a prioritized process improvement pipeline, balancing short-term operational fixes with longer-term strategic capability investments.* Conduct regular process health reviews with functional leaders and escalate systemic risks to BMO leadership with recommended mitigation strategies.* Stakeholder Engagement and Governance* Serve as the primary BMO liaison to functional leaders across Product Sales, Product Design, Quality, NPI, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Customer Service on all process-related matters.* Establish and manage process governance forums including steering committees, working groups, and centers of excellence, ensuring accountability for process ownership is clearly defined and maintained.* Develop executive-ready communications including business cases, investment proposals, program status updates, and risk briefings tailored to VP- and C-suite audiences.* Provide process design consulting and coaching to functional analysts and program managers throughout the organization, building broader process competency across the enterprise.**Required qualifications*** Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations Management, Business Administration, or a closely related technical or quantitative discipline.* 8 or more years of progressive experience in business process management, operational excellence, or management consulting roles within a technology company or similarly complex enterprise environment.* Demonstrated ability to lead full lifecycle process improvement and automation initiatives from discovery through sustained production operation.* Expert-level proficiency in process modeling standards and tools (BPMN 2.0, Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, or equivalent) and the ability to communicate process designs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.* Hands-on experience working within or alongside enterprise systems including ERP (SAP, Oracle), CRM (Salesforce), ITSM (ServiceNow), PLM (Agile, Arena), and QMS (Arena) platforms.* Proven track record of delivering quantifiable operational outcomes: cycle time reduction, cost avoidance, yield improvement, or customer experience improvement in manufacturing or supply chain contexts.* Strong project and program management capabilities including the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams across organizational boundaries.* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated ability to influence without authority at the senior director and VP level.**Preferred qualifications*** Master’s degree in Engineering, Operations Research, Business Administration (MBA), or related field.* Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification or equivalent demonstrated proficiency in statistical process control and structured problem solving.* Hands-on experience with process automation platforms such as UiPath, Blue Prism, Appian, MuleSoft, or comparable RPA and workflow orchestration tools.* Experience with AI/ML-augmented process applications including demand sensing, quality prediction, or intelligent document processing in an operations context.* Familiarity with hardware product development and NPI processes including stage-gate frameworks, BOM management, and supply chain qualification workflows.* Exposure to global manufacturing operations, contract manufacturing relationships, or outsourced supply chain models in the networking, semiconductor, or enterprise technology sectors.* Experience operating within an ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or CMMI-governed quality management environment.**Core Technologies, Processes & Tools**Process Architecture & BPMN / Automation Platform Proficiency / Data
