About The Position

The Director, Business Transformation (Siding & Accessories Business Unit) reports to the VP, Customer & Strategy Enablement and carries two interconnected responsibilities: leading high-priority transformation initiatives across the business unit, and building the deployment infrastructure that enables the BU to execute its strategic agenda with discipline and consistency. The current flagship initiative is a multi-phase order-to-delivery optimization program — redesigning how Cornerstone Building Brands takes, fulfills, and delivers customer orders end-to-end across four domains: order intake and scheduling (customer service), inventory management (supply chain), demand planning, and production scheduling (manufacturing). This program is the immediate priority, requiring a leader who can drive a complex, multi-workstream initiative to completion while managing functional stakeholders across the organization. The deployment infrastructure responsibility ensures that this and future initiatives are executed with discipline and consistency — building the governance, tools, and operating rhythm that make strategy execution visible and repeatable across the BU.
