Working closely with teams across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Quality, and Engineering, you will help deliver global business‑critical projects, ensuring alignment across regions, functions, and stakeholders while supporting a culture of Continuous Improvement.

Working with us, you will receive:

• Ownership of strategic global Operations projects with visible business impact;
• Exposure to senior leadership and international stakeholders across multiple functions and locations;
• The opportunity to drive transformation and influence how Operations evolves across the organization;
• A high level of autonomy, responsibility, and decision‑making authority;
• A collaborative and international environment focused on growth, innovation, and operational excellence;
• A wide range of benefits, including private medical care, discounted sports cards, free company bus transportation, an on‑site gym, and a company canteen offering fresh meals at attractive prices.

Your key responsibilities:

• Lead complex global Operations projects involving multiple sites, functions, and stakeholders across the organization;

• Drive strategic transformation initiatives from concept through implementation, ensuring successful execution and business impact;
• Partner with senior leaders and global stakeholders to define project priorities, governance, risks, and success criteria;
• Manage project dependencies, competing priorities, and stakeholder expectations in a dynamic international environment;
• Establish project plans, timelines, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure successful delivery;
• Monitor project progress, track key milestones, and ensure expected business benefits are realized;
• Drive alignment and decision‑making across functions and locations to keep projects on track;
• Support Continuous Improvement initiatives by applying Lean principles and structured problem‑solving methodologies where relevant;
• Conduct root cause analysis and support the development of practical corrective and preventive actions;
• Ensure implemented solutions are embedded, sustained, and deliver long‑term value to the business.

• Professional working proficiency in English, enabling effective collaboration with international stakeholders;
• Demonstrated success leading global and cross‑functional projects involving senior stakeholders;
• Experience managing complex projects with significant business impact, including organizational, operational, or process transformations;
• Strong execution mindset with a proven ability to turn strategy into action and deliver results in complex environments;
• Ability to independently drive projects from idea through implementation with limited supervision;
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including influencing senior leaders and navigating complex organizational structures;
• Experience working in matrix organizations and international environments;
• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset combined with strong collaboration skills;
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken is a must.
