This organization thrives on optimizing intricate systems and ensuring seamless functionality, impacting millions globally through its commitment to cutting-edge technology and operational excellence.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a dynamic team as a key leader, directly shaping the operational backbone of our client's advanced global facilities. You will be instrumental in transforming local practices into standardized, high-performing operational rhythms, ensuring consistency, safety, and peak productivity. Your expertise will drive the strategic evolution of how human-controllable variables are managed, making a tangible impact on the overall success and efficiency of a critical global infrastructure.

What You'll Do:

• Act as the central coordinator, defining operational standards for on-the-floor performance, workplace guidelines, vendor compliance, and physical space readiness.
• Translate highly variable local habits into high-performing, repeatable operational rhythms.
• Monitor performance dashboards tracking site-level productivity, analyzing labor supply efficiency, and executing real-time triage to resolve human-performance bottlenecks on the floor.
• Define, deploy, and audit a global "Vendor Toolkit" to standardize day-to-day facility hygiene (cleanliness, lost-and-found tracking, prohibited goods policies) and enforce strict third-party partner service level agreements.
• Manage operational strategy, facility operations, staffing, and performance for critical workstreams such as cleaning and lost-and-found.

What You'll Bring:

Mandatory Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of program management experience directly leading physical operations, logistics, fulfillment, or industrial fleet services.
• Proven track record of managing multi-site operational programs and standardization rollouts.
