We are seeking a Process Transformation Consultant to play a critical role within the Group Benefits (GB) Process Transformation team, with dedicated accountability for driving large‑scale, measurable improvements across the Group Benefits Operations business.

Reporting to the Manager, Process Transformation, this role is designed for an experienced transformation professional and certified Six Sigma Black Belt who can independently lead complex, cross‑functional initiatives; influence senior leaders; and deliver sustained operational results through disciplined continuous improvement practices.

As a Transformation Consultant, you are a process improvement leader with strong operational instincts and a bias for action. You will own end‑to‑end improvement initiatives, from identifying performance gaps and root causes through designing, implementing, and sustaining improved ways of working.

Working directly with GB Operations Managers, Directors, and the AVP, you will lead rigorous, data‑driven problem solving focused on eliminating waste, improving flow, reducing variation, and strengthening controls. You will challenge existing processes, test assumptions with data, and apply Lean Six Sigma discipline to ensure improvements are scalable and sustained over time.

Stakeholder Engagement & Change Adoption

Work directly with SFS leadership to align on problem statements, priorities, and success measures

Lead cross‑functional working sessions to test solutions, resolve constraints, and drive implementation

Partner with change management resources to ensure improvements are embedded, adopted, and sustained

Coach and support analysts and team members in Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem‑solving techniques

Contribute to the maturation of GB Process Transformation standards, tools, and practices
