Job description

Operational Excellence Manager – Integration & Transformation

$100-150ph (3-4 month contract possibly longer)

Our client is undergoing a significant transformation following a recent acquisition and is looking for a hands on Business Transformation Consultant to help modernize and integrate the operation.

This is a hands on role working closely with senior leadership to understand current processes, identify inefficiencies and implement a more structured, scalable operating model.

Key Focus Areas

• Document and redesign finance and operational workflows.
• Identify opportunities to eliminate manual processes and improve efficiency.
• Support a system migration.
• Review Order-to-Cash, AP/AR, purchasing, dispatch and month-end processes.
• Develop process documentation, workflows and operating procedures.
• Identify activities that can be centralized, automated or eliminated.
• Support systems, data and technology integration.
• Track transformation initiatives and provide regular updates to leadership.
• Deliver tangible, measurable outputs throughout the assignment.

Ideal Candidate

• Background in business transformation, consulting, project management or process improvement.
• Strong understanding of Order-to-Cash and finance processes.
• Hands on Sage Intacct / Sage 50 experience.
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
• Experience in logistics, transportation, distribution or a highly operational environment is preferred.
• Comfortable working independently and getting into the details of how a business operates.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to build and transform rather than simply maintain.

You'll have the mandate to take an established operation, understand what isn't working, introduce better processes and systems, and leave behind a significantly more efficient and scalable operation.
