• Strategic execution mindset with strong decision-making skills.
• Experience implementing Lean Six Sigma or similar methodologies.
• Proficiency with operational systems and data analysis tools.
• A combination of education and experience may be considered.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the execution lead for ET-sponsored initiatives on behalf of the designated ET sponsor.
• Translate executive direction into workplans, manage timelines and execution cadence, coordinate cross-functional participation, identify risks and blockers, and escalate issues as needed.
• Manage approximately 3–5 concurrent enterprise initiatives and ensure initiatives are completed, adopted, and formally closed.
• Act as a liaison across Corporate Services and Operations, including IT, Finance, People & Culture, Safety, Marketing, and Operations, to ensure aligned execution and accountability.
• Maintain momentum by leveraging ET sponsorship and disciplined follow-through.
• Develop, implement, and refine targeted business processes required to support the successful execution of ET initiatives.
• Apply structured problem-solving techniques, like Lean Six Sigma, appropriate to improve processes, remove friction, and align and coordinate actions.
• Define, track, and report initiative-level KPIs in partnership with ET sponsors and functional leaders.
• Provide clear visibility into progress, risks, and outcomes.
• As initiative volume and complexity increase, recruit, develop, and lead a small execution support team.
