This role is a core member of the organizational leadership team, with a mandate to personally lead, structure, analyze, and execute transformation initiatives—working directly with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to turn strategy into measurable results. This person will operate as a strategic problem solver and execution partner, identifying opportunities, building business cases, redesigning processes, and driving initiatives through implementation and value realization. For the right candidate, this role offers a clear path to building and leading a dedicated transformation team as the capability matures within the organization.

OVERALL RESPONSIBILITIES

Personally lead enterprise transformation and operating-model improvement initiatives from problem definition and strategy through execution and measurable value realization. Analyze business performance, identify operational and financial improvement opportunities, and develop actionable recommendations. Drive operational excellence initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous-improvement methodologies to improve cost, quality, safety, delivery, and profitability. Lead and support M&A activities, including due diligence, post-merger integration, carve-outs, and synergy/value-capture initiatives. Build and maintain transformation roadmaps, business cases, financial models, project plans, KPIs, and governance mechanisms. Work directly with commercial, finance, and operations leaders to improve P&L performance, profitable growth, and value creation. Identify opportunities to modernize core systems and processes, including ERP/SAP, and evaluate AI-enabled and digital solutions based on measurable business impact. Facilitate cross-functional working sessions, resolve complex business problems, and personally drive critical initiatives to completion. Collaborate with colleagues in our Strategy and Transformation office in Europe, contributing to globally coordinated initiatives and sharing best practices across geographies. Present findings, recommendations, progress, and results to executive leadership and other key stakeholders

10+ years of experience in transformation, strategy, operations, management consulting, or operational excellence, ideally within industrial, manufacturing, automation, or supply-chain environments. Demonstrated experience personally driving complex transformation initiatives from analysis through implementation, rather than primarily overseeing teams or programs. Proven track record of delivering measurable results, including revenue growth, margin expansion, cost reduction, productivity improvements, and other value-creation initiatives. Deep expertise in operational excellence, Lean / Six Sigma, and structured problem solving; Black Belt preferred. Experience with M&A integration, operating-model design, process optimization, and value-capture initiatives. Strong financial acumen, including P&L, EBIT, business cases, ROI, planning, and financial modeling. Strong analytical, strategic, and execution skills with the ability to move from high-level strategy into detailed implementation. Excellent executive communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority. MBA from a leading program and/or an engineering background strongly preferred. Experience with AI-enabled / digital transformation and agentic GTM. Warehouse/manufacturing automation domain knowledge, including WES/MES, aftermarket service, or commercial project controlling. ERP/SAP implementation or optimization experience. Global / multi-continent experience, particularly US and APAC. Experience working in a PE-backed or highly performance-driven industrial environment.

PROFESSIONAL QUALITIES

Hands-on and action-oriented, with a willingness to personally dive into analysis, problem-solving, and execution. Highly analytical and intellectually curious, with the ability to simplify complex business challenges and identify practical solutions. Strong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to influence and build credibility across all levels of the organization. Results-driven and accountable, with a strong focus on measurable business impact and value creation. Collaborative and adaptable, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and lead change without relying on direct authority.

Occasional domestic and international travel may be required to support business initiatives, operating locations, and global collaboration.
