  • Coach stakeholders and leaders through transformation activities.

Support Long-Term Business Improvement
  • Continue to drive process optimization and commercial excellence beyond implementation.
  • Partner with leadership to identify future opportunities for efficiency, growth, and customer value creation.
  • Use data and business insights to influence strategic decisions.
  • Act as a thought partner on future transformation initiatives.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of commercial leadership experience within polymers, plastics, chemicals, industrial manufacturing, or distribution environments.
