• Lead cross-functional requirements gathering using interviews, workshops, value stream mapping and shop-floor observation.
• Translate manufacturing needs into clear business requirements, process flows, user experience expectations, test scenarios, training needs, and governance standards.
• Partner with operations, engineering, IT, business process owners, and site stakeholders to align future-state processes with practical production requirements and lean operating practices.
• Guide workstation and production execution design needs, including operator interfaces, material visibility, pick lists, work order status, displays, and workflow requirements.
• Identify requirements for constraints, part re-ordering, labor distribution, training tracking, performance KPIs, and production visibility.
• Use structured problem-solving methods to define root causes, evaluate process gaps, and recommend practical system-enabled improvements.
• Lead project activities, assign follow-up actions, coordinate resources, and drive deliverables to completion.
• Must be willing and able to travel up to 25% and 50% to enable site engagement, process discovery, implementation activities, training, and cross-functional alignment.
• Communicate project updates, requirements decisions, milestones, issues, and recommendations to team members, leadership, and key stakeholders.

You're a good fit if you have (or if you can)

• Ability to apply lean concepts to process and system design, improving visibility, reducing variation, and enabling simplified work.
