Senior Process Manager for Standard Packaging Process

Would you like to manage the new standard packaging process and are you motivated by making our strategy operational and build up a network to support it? Do you have exceptional skills in stakeholder management?

If so, come join us as a Senior Process Manager for the Standard Packaging process

The position
As a Senior Process Manager for Standard packaging process, you will lead the standard process across our global manufacturing sites in the FPDM unit. Together with colleagues in other key positions, you will manage the global standards and ensure process excellence together with stakeholders both locally and globally. You will set the direction for the Standard packaging process across all our global sites and ensure that the process and equipment are in compliance, standardized, and simplified. In this role, you will help scale our packaging processes for the future.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Lead the process and the process group network
• Setting direction for the Standard packaging processes, initiating and owning various initiatives to support the above direction.
• Ensure strong collaboration with other processes and other functions across NN
• Being close to the packaging processes across FP sites located in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
• Working in close collaboration with other groups (improvement groups, different network groups, other process groups, etc.)
• Working with various stakeholders along the value stream.

In this role, you will be tasked with setting directions and delivering results that have a significant impact on our packaging processes. You will be responsible for analyzing data to make sure we focus our efforts where the value and impact are most needed.
