Manager, Global Process Owner

Imagine being the person who owns and governs assigned end-to-end manufacturing processes across the global manufacturing network. Define and continuously improve the process vision, architecture, standards, controls, performance measures, and roadmap to enable consistent, efficient, scalable, and compliant ways of working.

Act as the business process representative, partnering closely with plant operations and Digital & Technology to ensure business process requirements drive effective solution design, while technical teams retain ownership of technology architecture, platforms, delivery, and lifecycle management.

We love that you will...
