  • Shape demand by identifying the underlying problem, root cause, and desired outcome before defining a response.
  • Apply Lean, Six Sigma, 5 Whys, and other structured problem-solving techniques to eliminate waste, reduce variation, and solve root causes rather than symptoms.
  • Lead discovery and transformation workshops to determine how process, operating model, data, automation, AI, and technology can improve business performance.
  • Develop and maintain business capability roadmaps that connect strategic priorities to required changes in process, data, operating model, and technology.
  • Facilitate cross-functional discussions that align stakeholders around future-state processes, capability needs, priorities, and measures of success.
  • Partner with Enterprise and Solution Architects to translate capability needs into cohesive, scalable, and strategically aligned approaches.
  • Connect business priorities to the appropriate capabilities across Business Applications, Technology Operations, Cyber Security, Technology Enablement, and other ETS teams.
  • Define expected outcomes and measures early and partner with Transformation & Value Realization to track adoption, results, and business value.
  • Promote agile, iterative transformation, delivering meaningful improvements quickly and refining approaches as the organization learns.
  • Help business leaders compare competing opportunities and make explicit prioritization and investment tradeoffs based on strategic alignment, value, risk, complexity, and capacity.

Minimum Qualifications
  • 8+ years of progressive experience, including significant experience leading business transformation, consulting, capability planning, or technology-enabled change.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a consultant or trusted advisor, diagnosing business problems and translating strategy into actionable transformation priorities.
  • Demonstrated ability to define business outcomes, establish meaningful measures, and evaluate the value and tradeoffs associated with transformation investments.
  • Strong understanding of business processes, process improvement, capability planning, and technology-enabled transformation.
  • Experience leading complex cross-functional discovery, workshops, planning, prioritization, or transformation initiatives.
  • Demonstrated ability to perform root-cause analysis, challenge assumptions, structure ambiguous problems, evaluate alternatives, and facilitate decisions.
  • Strong understanding of how applications, data, automation, AI, and emerging technologies can enable business outcomes.
  • Strong executive communication, facilitation, relationship-building, and influencing skills.
  • Ability to influence across organizational boundaries and balance strategic thinking with pragmatic execution.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.


Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Background in business consulting, management consulting, process consulting, or business transformation is highly desirable.
  • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Black Belt, or equivalent process-improvement certification
  • Demonstrated experience applying DMAIC, value-stream mapping, process mapping, 5 Whys, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
  • Proven track record supporting transformation across functions such as Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Services, Finance, Operations, or Customer Service.

  • Experience with enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, MuleSoft, or comparable technologies.
  • Understanding of data, analytics, automation, AI, Agile delivery, and globally distributed organizations.


Characteristics of the Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is:
  • A consultant at heart - listens, asks insightful questions, structures ambiguous problems, challenges assumptions, and helps leaders make better decisions.
  • Business-minded - begins with the problem and desired outcome rather than the technology request.
  • An order shaper - helps determine what should be done rather than simply translating what was requested.
  • Root-cause oriented - asks why until the real problem is understood and avoids fixing symptoms.
  • Process-minded - looks beyond systems to understand how process, data, roles, policy, and technology work together to produce an outcome.
  • Commercially minded - understands that transformation requires choices and can balance value, cost, speed, risk, and organizational capacity.
  • Value-focused - applies an 80/20 mindset and concentrates effort where it will make the greatest difference.
  • Agile and pragmatic - favors iterative progress and does not let perfect get in the way of great.
  • Technology fluent - understands the possibilities and limitations of modern technology without defaulting to a technology-first answer.
