Key Responsibilities

• Analyze workforce structures, resource requirements and personnel costs across plants and geographies.
• Design and maintain organizational blueprints for plants and operations, ensuring the right structures, roles and capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to improve organizational efficiency, productivity and cost effectiveness.
• Support business cases and organizational change for insourcing/outsourcing, footprint changes, capacity expansion, restructuring and operational transformations.

• Comfortable working with numbers, business cases, organizational data and cost analysis; experience with industrial relations.
• Fluent English; international experience highly desirable.
• Pragmatic, collaborative and comfortable in an international, evolving, uncertain environment — typical of a PE-backed portfolio company in a transformation phase.
• Business-oriented and analytical, with strong numerical and problem-solving skills; equally effective in strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
