If you’re a true Lean leader, you already know the difference, anyone can run Kaizen events. Very few can **transform a site, influence senior leadership, and deliver sustained results. **That’s exactly what this role is built for.

• This isn’t a “support” CI role.

You will own the transformation agenda.

• Direct line to the Site Director and leadership team

• Full responsibility for shaping and driving the site’s Lean strategy

• Authority to influence what gets worked on—and what doesn’t

• A mandate to deliver real, measurable business impact (not activity metrics)

If you’ve ever been frustrated by:

• Leadership that “talks Lean” but doesn’t commit

• Kaizen events that don’t stick

• CI roles with no real influence

…this is the environment you’ve been looking for.

• Build and drive a site-wide Lean roadmap aligned to business strategy (Hoshin Kanri)

• Partner directly with the Site Director to prioritize the highest-impact opportunities

• Drive measurable gains across Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Growth

• Facilitate high-impact Kaizen events focused on flow, constraint removal, and cost transformation

• Target high-volume, high-revenue value streams where results matter most

• Ensure every initiative delivers hard, tracked results—not theoretical improvements

• Challenge leadership teams when needed—and bring them along

• Embed Lean thinking into daily decisions, not just projects

• Ensure sustainability through standard work, daily management, and accountability systems

• Develop operators, supervisors, and leaders into capable problem solvers

• Coach the organization on how to think, not just what to do

• Create a pipeline of future Lean leaders across the site

You’re not just certified. You’ve delivered results:

• Experienced Lean Black Belt / CI Leader in manufacturing

• Proven track record of driving measurable improvements (cost, throughput, lead time, etc.)

• Deep expertise in:

  • Value Stream Transformation

  • Flow & Pull Systems

  • Hoshin Kanri

  • SMED, TPM, Standard Work

  • Daily Management & Visual Systems

But more importantly:

• You know how to influence leaders who don’t report to you

• You’ve successfully changed behavior, not just processes

• You push for impact over activity

• Lean systems experience (TPS, Danaher, etc.)

• Advanced problem-solving and analytics (SPC, regression, hypothesis testing)

• Change leadership credentials (PROSCI, Agile, etc.)

This role is for someone who wants to:

• Own a transformation—not just participate in one

• Build something that actually lasts

• Operate as a true strategic partner, not a support function

If you’re already succeeding where you are—but know you could have greater impact in the right environment—this is that opportunity.
