The posting

The Director of Continuous Improvement – is responsible for developing and leading a structured continuous improvement strategy across ODL’s global manufacturing sites. This role reports to the EVP, Operations and partners closely with Operations, Engineering, Product Management, Supply Chain leadership to standardize and train associates on how we perform problem solving, value stream mapping, run daily management, and deploy strategy across all ODL sites.

  • Work with ODL Site Leadership to enable our Business Operating System (BOS) across ODL by standardizing our manufacturing processes, documentation, and governance to enable consistent execution and support scalable growth.
  • Drive value stream mapping to identify waste, improve flow, reduce lead time, and enable end-to-end optimization while standardizing and scaling best practices across all ODL sites.
  • Facilitate Kaizen events and Lean transformation initiatives, driving measurable improvements across value streams.
  • Establish and manage CI governance, including project prioritization, resourcing, and validation of financial impact in partnership with Finance.
  • Partner with site leaders to improve key operational metrics including customer PPM, scrap, warranty quality, unit production, inventory, OTIF, and UPLH.
  • Lead change by coaching and developing leaders, building alignment, and embedding continuous improvement into daily management routines across all ODL sites.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement by identifying, training, and developing CI Champions across the organization.

  • Strategic, execution-focused leader who is credible on the floor and in operations & manufacturing spaces, able to influence across functions, communicate clearly, coach at all levels, and sustain improvements beyond short-term wins.
  • Experience in multi-site or global manufacturing networks.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
