Value Stream Manager

Are you a proven manufacturing leader who thrives on solving complex challenges, developing exceptional teams, and driving operational excellence? If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, not just manage the day-to-day, this could be your next career move.

At Emerson Flow Control, we're seeking a Value Stream Manager to lead one of the manufacturing value streams at our flagship North Texas facility in Sherman, Texas. As the business leader for your operation, you'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, influence results, and lead a talented team in a high-mix, configure-to-order manufacturing environment.

In this highly visible leadership role, you'll be responsible for Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP) while driving Lean transformation, developing future leaders, and partnering across Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing Technology, and Customer Service to deliver exceptional results for our customers. If you're energized by leading change, building high-performing teams, and creating lasting operational improvements, we'd love to hear from you.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Lead Value Stream Operations

• Lead end-to-end manufacturing operations, including machining, assembly, testing, and supporting functions.

• Own Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP) performance.

Drive Operational Excellence

• Lead implementation and sustainment of the Emerson Lean Operating System.

• Champion daily management, visual management, standard work, problem solving, and continuous improvement.

• Eliminate waste and improve productivity through Lean principles and data-driven decision making.

Manage Business Performance

• Optimize labor, inventory, equipment, and capital resources.

• Deliver productivity, cost, capacity, and financial performance objectives.

Develop High-Performing Teams

• Lead, coach, and develop supervisors, planners, engineers, and other value stream leaders.

• Build a culture of accountability, engagement, continuous learning, and succession planning.

Partner Across the Business

• Collaborate with Materials, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Technology, Quality, Maintenance, Customer Service, and other functions to remove constraints and improve operational performance.

• Support new product introductions, capital projects, and manufacturing process improvements while ensuring operational readiness.

Who You Are

You are a servant leader who develops people, builds high-performing teams, and leads from the shop floor. You create a culture of accountability, solve problems through data and collaboration, and inspire continuous improvement to deliver exceptional customer and business results.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Supply Chain, or a related field. (In absence of degree, 8 years of experience in discrete manufacturing will suffice.)

• 4 years of manufacturing leadership experience in a discrete manufacturing environment.

• Experience leading high-mix, configure-to-order manufacturing operations.

• Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and operational excellence principles.

• Proven experience leading supervisors and cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communication, coaching, and problem-solving skills.

• Legal authorization to work in the US - visa sponsorship will not be provided.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Master's degree or MBA.

• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification.

• Experience with Oracle ERP.

• Experience in industrial equipment, valves, or other complex manufacturing environments.

• Demonstrated success leading value stream or operational transformations.
