What you'll do:
The 80/20 Business Transformation Leader is accountable for institutionalizing a permanent 80/20 capability to drive sustained focus on the highest-value products, customers, and operations. This role owns end-to-end value optimization across portfolio, customers, and manufacturing complexity, with authority to lead cross-functional trade-offs that improve margin, simplify operations, and accelerate growth. The Business Transformation leader will shift the organization from complexity-driven growth to focused, profitable, agile, and scalable performance while working closely with senior leaders across the functions.
Essential Functions:

• 80/20 Strategy and Governance: Define and lead the division's 80/20 strategy across product, customer, and operational dimensions. Develop QUADS and QUARTILES and drive segmentation across product lines. Establish governance, decision frameworks, and operating cadence. Build and institutionalize repeatable 80/20 methodologies, playbooks, and tools. Serve as the overarching integrator, ensuring alignment across Product, Sales, and Operations.

• Portfolio Simplification (with Product Management): Co-lead portfolio segmentation (core vs. non-core) and long-term focus strategy. Drive SKU and variant rationalization, platform consolidation, and lifecycle discipline. Establish NPI "complexity gates" to ensure new products align with simplification goals. Balance growth and simplification through productive tension with Product Management.

• Customer and Commercial Focus: Define and implement customer segmentation (A/B/C tiers) based on value and cost-to-serve. Partner with Sales to prioritize top-value customers and channels and improve price realization and commercial discipline. Lead efforts to reduce low-value/custom complexity (e.g., order patterns, customization).

• Operational Efficiency: Partner with Plant Managers, Ops leaders and Engineering to reduce SKU-driven manufacturing complexity, standardize BOMs, routings, and processes, and improve flow, throughput, and lead times. Drive cross-site alignment to simplify footprint and production strategies and increase capacity without significant CapEx.

• Resource Reallocation and Value Capture: Redirect investment (engineering, capital, talent) toward core platforms and high-growth segments. Eliminate low-value activities and enforce "stop-doing" discipline. Own value capture tracking (margin improvement, cost reduction, working capital).

• Capability Building: Embed 80/20 thinking into leader behaviors and daily decision-making. Develop training material and train and coach leaders on value-based prioritization and trade-off decision-making. Develop internal capability through standard work, toolkits, and leader training. Lead RIE events and utilize lean principles to drive business simplification and transformation. Ensure sustainability beyond individual initiatives.
