About the Role
The Company is seeking a Director of R&D Chief of Staff and Operational Excellence to advise senior R&D leaders and support delivery of strategic priorities. The role drives leadership team effectiveness through disciplined planning, meeting facilitation, executive communication, and follow-through on decisions.

The Director also prepares leadership briefings, brings external market insights into planning, supports organizational alignment, and coordinates priority initiatives across a global matrix. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or science and experience in consumer goods and/or R&D. A minimum of 8–10 years of business experience, including leading complex initiatives in a global matrix organization, is required.
