Business Transformation Manager

Manager of Business Transformation | Field Service Operations | Continuous Improvement | Operational Excellence

Location: Greater Columbus, Ohio

Compensation: $105k to $155k base salary + bonus

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing, global organization to find a Manager of Business Transformation for a highly visible team focused on improving how the business operates across key service-related processes.

This role will have a strong focus on field service operations , including areas such as field service management, technician scheduling, route optimization, work order management, aftermarket services, commissioning, service quality, warranty, preventive maintenance, spare parts, and service-related systems. However, seeking someone that is versatile and can tackle other projects as needed across order to cash, purchase to pay, sales, inventory & operations and new product development.

The team functions much like an internal consulting group. The work is fast-paced, high-impact, and cross-functional. The right person will be someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, think critically, communicate clearly, and help move important transformation initiatives forward in a complex operating environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving business problems, improving workflows, partnering across functions, and helping a growing organization become more scalable, efficient, and effective in how it serves customers after products are installed.

• Ability to flex and lead business process improvement initiatives across Opportunity to Cash , Procure to Pay , New Product Development and Introduction , and Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning based on project needs
• This role will likely focus on medium-scale initiatives, so want to make it clear that this is the focus versus large scale transformation
• Evaluate current-state processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, customer experience, and execution
• Partner with stakeholders across service operations, supply chain, finance, IT, commercial teams, quality, and other functions
• Support initiatives tied to field service management, technician scheduling, dispatch, work order flow, route optimization, service appointments, and resource planning

• Help connect field service data and customer feedback back into quality, engineering, supply chain, and operational improvement efforts
• Support systems-related process improvement efforts tied to enterprise platforms such as Oracle or SAP

• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills with a practical toolkit of project management and process improvement approaches
• Executive presence and strong communication skills, including the ability to deliver clear, succinct updates to senior leaders
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence without direct authority
• Strong business acumen and sound judgment
• Experience in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift and new business needs can emerge quickly

Ideal Profile

You are comfortable working across functions, systems, processes, and stakeholders. You can zoom out to understand the broader business issue, then zoom in enough to identify where the process is breaking down. You are calm under pressure, credible with leaders, practical in your approach, and energized by solving complex operational problems.

Experience with systems such as Salesforce Field Service / Field Service Lightning, Oracle Field Service, SAP, ServiceNow FSM, Microsoft Dynamics Field Service, Oracle ERP, SAP ERP, or similar platforms should also be noted.
