Lean Transformation Manager

Job description

Lead Transformation, Not Events
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.

Why This Role Will Stand Out to You - 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.

What You’ll Actually Do:
Own the Transformation:
  • 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.

Lead Where It Matters:
  • 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..

Be the Change Agent Others Aren’t:
  • 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.

Build a Lean Culture (Not Just Tools):
  • 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.

What You Bring (And What We’re Really Looking For):
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.

Strong Differentiators:
  • Lean systems experience (TPS, Danaher, etc.).
  • Advanced problem-solving and analytics (SPC, regression, hypothesis testing).
  • Change leadership credentials (PROSCI, Agile, etc.).

The Bottom Line:
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.
Required Competencies, Education, and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering (industrial engineering strongly preferred).
  • 3 - 5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment, with leadership in Kaizen, Continuous Improvement.
  • Proficient in Gemba Kaizen, Value Stream Analysis, Visual & Daily Management, Hoshin Kanri, SMED, TPM, Standard Work Development, and 3P Layout.
  • Strong ability to facilitate Kaizen Events on these methods and tools and helping to identify future Lean minded personnel.
  • Proficiency leading cost reduction and process flow improvement initiatives.
  • Proficiency with Kaizen tools, such as 3P, TAKT Time, Standard Work Combination Sheets, Standard WIP and Kaizen Newspaper.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to provide leadership and strategic direction as part of the site leadership team.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Lean Master on TPS or Danaher Business System Certification.
  • Project management experience with a proven track record of meeting timelines or proactively adjusting to achieve planned goals.
  • Agile certification such as SCALE.
  • Change management such as PROSCI certification.
  • Strong analytical background - SPC, Hypothesis Testing, Regression, and Correlation Analysis.
  • Problem-solving skills, such as 5-Whys, 8D, Shainin, etc.
