Introduction: As a Continuous Improvement Manager, you will advance operational excellence by working alongside employees and leaders to understand how work is performed, solve problems, and build sustainable improvements. This role requires a hands‑on, collaborative leader who spends time where the work occurs, uses data and structured problem‑solving to guide decisions, builds trust across teams, and helps the organization mature its continuous improvement practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Charter a vision.
• Develop and guide the site's continuous improvement roadmap in partnership with employees, functional leaders, and site leadership.
• Spend meaningful time on the production floor observing processes, engaging employees, and identifying opportunities to improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, and productivity.
• Design, implement, and sustain improvement systems and processes, including building new processes from the ground up when needed.
• Utilize value stream management to identify constraints, improve flow, and drive site‑wide continuous improvement initiatives.
• Establish meaningful measures of success and connect improvement priorities to business and customer needs.
• Drive change.
  • Lead cross‑functional improvement initiatives using appropriate methods such as Lean, Six Sigma, root‑cause analysis, process mapping, experimentation, and structured problem‑solving.
  • Apply change management practices to help teams understand, adopt, and sustain new processes and ways of working.
  • Facilitate collaborative problem‑solving by gathering perspectives, testing assumptions, analyzing data, and helping teams develop solutions rather than prescribing answers.
  • Develop practical methods for collecting and analyzing data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
  • Establish KPIs and operating cadences that make performance visible, support decision‑making, and measure whether improvements are delivering sustained results.

• Empower teams.
  • Build trusted relationships by listening, asking thoughtful questions, following through on commitments, and valuing the knowledge of people closest to the work.
  • Coach employees and leaders in continuous improvement, problem‑solving, and data‑informed decision‑making.
  • Facilitate multidisciplinary teams through complex problems, including situations where the solution is not known at the outset.
  • Build team capability and ownership so improvements are sustained, and teams become increasingly able to solve problems independently.
  • Lead the planning, facilitation, execution, and sustainment of Kaizen events, ensuring improvements are effectively implemented, measured, and sustained while developing and mentoring employees to become effective Kaizen facilitators.
