“We will be the catalyst to a healthier planet.”

To make this a reality, we are transforming how we work, think, and grow. Our mission is to be the most agile partner that empowers manufacturers in Asia to thrive—and that starts with you.

A People-First Transformation

At Maha, we believe that the strength of our organisation lies in its people. That’s why we are undergoing a business transformation to become a truly people-first, service-centred company. Across our 12 countries and 19 offices, we are equipping our teams with the skills and capabilities to lead, communicate, and solve problems strategically.

We are not just hiring employees—we are building superheroes. People who want to make a real impact, drive change, and leave a legacy. If you join us now, in 3-5 years, you’ll be able to proudly say:

“I helped build Maha into the strong, reputable organisation it is today.”

About the Role:

You will lead transformative initiatives that elevate our business performance, streamline operations, and digitally empower 250+ employees across 12 Asian countries.

Drive Digital & AI Adoption

• Implement real-time dashboards to empower faster, better decisions.
• Train and mentor citizen developers to use low-code/no-code tools.

Power Agile Projects That Scale

• Be a certified Scrum Master/Product Owner driving fast, iterative impact.
• Facilitate cross-border sprints and retrospectives that deliver visible wins every 30–45 days.
• Cultivate a results-driven, collaborative culture.

Build a Data-Driven Organization

• Set up a single source of truth for commercial, technical, and operational KPIs.
• Launch predictive models to manage inventory, sales trends, and customer behavior.
• Lead workshops that move teams from reporting to decision-making.

Shape Culture & Lead Change

• Run internal “Excellence Labs” and Kaizen workshops.
• Upskill teams in problem-solving, data literacy, and digital tools.
• Be the trusted coach who helps others embrace change and perform at their best.

What We’re Looking For:

Bachelor's in Business, Data Science or related field. Master’s is a plus.

3-5 years of experience in operational excellence, transformation, or digitalization.

Certified Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt.

Agile/Scrum and ERP (Odoo) implementation experience preferred.

Strong analytical, facilitation, and change leadership skills.

Demonstrated business acumen, with the ability to connect operational initiatives to strategic outcomes and commercial impact.
