About the Role

As a Regional Continuous Improvement Manager, you will serve as the primary Lean champion for our Rosenberg and Pearland, Texas manufacturing sites. This role is pivotal in deploying a strategic Continuous Improvement (CI) roadmap that directly impacts Quality, Cost, Delivery, and Safety (QCDS). You will drive transformation across end-to-end processes and systems to improve gross margin through strategic productivity initiatives, such as material flow optimization and lead time reduction.

In this position, you will not only lead the execution of CI strategies but also cultivate a culture of continuous improvement across all organizational levels. Your day-to-day involves facilitating workshops, leading Gemba walks, and coaching frontline leaders to build internal capability. You will act as a Subject Matter Expert on flow lean and problem-solving tools, ensuring that improvements are not only identified but sustained through standardized work and robust data analysis. This role requires approximately 60% of your time at the Rosenberg site and 40% at the Pearland site, with frequent travel between locations to ensure consistent operational excellence.

Hiring Process

We are looking for a proactive leader who can effect change and drive a CI mindset across multiple disciplines. Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to collaborate with functional leaders, their program management skills in multi-site environments, and their analytical acumen. The selection process focuses on identifying individuals who demonstrate strong integrity, communication skills, and a proven track record of delivering results in high-performing manufacturing organizations.
