A Taste of What You'll Do

At GALLO, we're looking for a collaborative Continuous Improvement leader to help teams solve meaningful business challenges, improve customer experiences, and build lasting capability across the organization. In this role, you will lead Lean Six Sigma programs and strategic projects that increase productivity, strengthen process performance, and deliver measurable results.

You will partner with senior leaders, process owners, and cross-functional teams to identify priorities, define customer needs, analyze complex data, and design practical, sustainable solutions.

As a trusted technical resource, you will coach Lean Practitioners, Green Belts, Black Belts, leaders, managers, and frontline teams. You will shape and deliver advanced Lean Six Sigma curriculum, mentor others through certification and project work, and create train-the-trainer approaches that expand continuous improvement capability throughout GALLO.
