Job Description:

Form Factor is seeking an experienced Business Process & Continuous Improvement Lead to accelerate high-priority cross-functional transformation initiatives. As a core member of FORM Enterprise Transformation Group, this role will work alongside business leaders and subject-matter experts to map current-state processes, identify root causes, design scalable future-state workflows, implement improvements, and embed the ownership and operating mechanisms required to sustain results.

This is a hands-on delivery role, not a documentation or facilitation-only position. The successful candidate will combine structured problem solving, process design, controls, change adoption, data fluency, and implementation discipline across people, process, data, decision rights, operating cadence, and enabling technology.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-End Process Transformation Lead current-state discovery through interviews, process walkthroughs, data review, gemba observation, and end-to-end process mapping.

Identify root causes, bottlenecks, rework, unclear ownership, control gaps, data issues, and cross-functional handoff breakdowns.

Design practical and scalable future-state processes aligned with business outcomes.

Define roles, decision rights, handoffs, standard work, controls, operating cadence, escalation paths, and performance measures.

Develop sequenced implementation roadmaps that balance urgency, business continuity, and long-term scalability.

Continuous Improvement and Implementation Plan and facilitate focused improvement workshops, root-cause reviews, kaizens, and design sessions.

Apply Form Factor 4C, Lean, Six Sigma, value-stream mapping, risk analysis, process design, and other methods selectively based on the problem.

Convert workshop outputs into implementable actions, owners, milestones, measures, and follow-through mechanisms.

Work directly with business teams to implement new workflows, management systems, controls, documentation, and routines.

Lead pilots and rapid prototypes, measure results, and refine solutions before scale-up.

Governance, Adoption, and Sustainment Establish clear process ownership, control points, decision rights, escalation thresholds, and accountability mechanisms.

Ensure improvements include appropriate documentation, training, communication, adoption, and reinforcement plans.

Partner with the transformation analyst and functional data owners to establish dashboards and operating reviews.

Assess whether revised processes are operating as designed and coordinate corrective action where outcomes fall short.

Prepare structured handoff packages that transfer ownership, measures, standard work, and ongoing improvement responsibility to the function.
