  • Manage site risk across safety, security, and insurance considerations through cross‑functional collaboration and governance

  • Partner with Product and Engineering to implement new and improved tech solutions that unlock measurable operational gains

  • Cascade functional strategy and ensure operational effectiveness, making final decisions on implementation and managing actions that impact multi‑department budgets

  • Lead through subordinate managers across multiple integrated departments, setting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results at the functional level

  • Communicate across senior stakeholders, reconciling multiple views to drive business results and ensuring schedules and budgets meet functional requirements

  • Lead by example and be a champion of all company policies, including safety, attendance & security

Who You Are:

  • Demonstrated ability to drive business performance in production, logistics, and quality excellence

  • Proven track record of designing and implementing processes to drive consistency, increased speed and quality of customer care delivery at scale

  • Ability to translate annual priorities and objectives into a local operating plan with specific focus on streamlining product delivery and turnaround times, as well as increasing product quality standards

  • A collaborative, change‑management oriented leader who moves with urgency and empowers leaders to deliver at scale

  • Possess a continuous improvement mindset with experience in observing, recommending, testing, and implementing process changes that increase quality and efficiency on a consistent basis.
