Stakeholder Synchronization: Facilitate collaboration across decentralized business units, managing progress on corporate initiatives, manufacturing site expansions, and regional footprint milestones.
Executive Briefings: Synthesize complex operational metrics, campaign performance, and facility data into clear dashboards and concise briefings for the CHO and U.S. leadership team.
Process Optimization & Technology Integration
AI & Digital Transformation: Architect, pilot, and scale modern workflows, including AI agent integration and advanced prompting logic to automate market benchmarking and optimize corporate reporting pipelines.
System & Data Pipeline Governance: Oversee the secure orchestration of data pipelines and platform ecosystems to safeguard data integrity and enhance executive pipeline visibility.
Continuous Improvement: Utilize Lean methodologies, root-cause analysis, and standardized playbooks to eliminate operational bottlenecks and streamline corporate onboarding or cross-business workflows.
Operations & Milestone Tracking
Structured Project Assurance: Deploy structured projects and milestone-tracking methodologies to manage operational launch metrics, capital project timelines, and country-level KPIs.
Sustainability Programs: Partner with operational leaders to track and report on the deployment of ABB's domestic sustainability infrastructure (e.g., net-zero manufacturing, green facilities).
Employer Branding Alignment: Support corporate talent framework alignments, ensuring internal communications and employee engagement initiatives mirror ABB's culture goals.
Qualifications for the role:
Bachelors Degree in business, engineering, or related is required. Masters/MBA is preferred.
10+ years of progressive experience leading cross-functional programs, digital transformations, or business operations, preferably within an industrial technology or manufacturing environment.
Technical Stack Expertise: Demonstrated hands-on management of complex enterprise ecosystems, including advanced CRM optimization, data pipeline infrastructure, and Generative AI application design.
