Senior Lean Manager - for business process transformation and digitalisation

Do you want to drive end-to-end transformations across value chains – from customer delivery all the way back to forecasting of demand? Can you envision yourself in a role that is critical to fostering a culture of continuous learning and operations excellence?

Join our global operations excellence team on a mission to boost productivity across Coloplast’s manufacturing sites. Leveraging your experience, you can make a significant contribution to fostering a strong customer service orientation, characterised by end-to-end transparency and agility.

Operations Excellence – a core muscle within Global Operations 
As part of Coloplast’s Global Operations, you will join a recently established Operations Excellence team working at the heart of our 2030 strategy. Our mission is to enhance scalability and productivity at our manufacturing sites worldwide – from Hungary to Costa Rica. 

In this role, you can expect to spend approximately 30-50% of your time travelling and actively engaging with your colleagues at our manufacturing sites. 

Shape the future of Global Operations with an end-to-end view 
Our goal is to embed customer effect orientation and flow principles deeply into our DNA, and you will play a key role in transforming our global operations end-to-end. Leveraging your experience, you will enable managers and teams to lead and address our performance needs and challenges, allowing us to enhance value delivery, flow effectiveness and work efficiency. 

More specifically, you will: 

• Develop and implement lean transformation strategies
• Identify and prioritise areas for lean implementation 
• Drive efforts to deliver improvements and anchor new processes and practices
• Lead change management efforts to shift our mindset and behaviour through changes in practices
• Anchor a culture of continuous learning and improvement 

Help us grow a culture of continuous learning and end-to-end impact improvement 

You will need a solid understanding of end-to-end value chain management principles and practices (i.e., IBP and SCOR), combined with a firm grasp of business transformation principles and project leadership methodologies.

Rather than zoning in on optimising individual functional processes, you take a holistic view to help us improve the effect of our full end-to-end flows. You are motivated by enabling your colleagues to find alternative ways of working – ultimately increasing delivery performance to our customers.

To do so, we imagine that you have: 

• Solid experience with lean business strategy and transformation of end-to-end value streams 
• At least 3 years of experience in a regulated industry
• A proven ability to drive significant, sustainable change across an entire value chain 
• Significant experience leading and facilitating cross-functional teams, workshops and events 
• Excellent communication skills in English – sufficient to lead global teams and stakeholder discussions
