Why This Matters

We believe leadership development should be proactive, inclusive, and continuous. That’s why we’re building a strategic pipeline of future-ready plant leaders, not just reacting to open roles. This approach allows us to:

• Accelerate readiness for critical roles as they emerge.
• Foster diversity and inclusion at every level of leadership.
• Strengthen our network of operational excellence across EMEA.

What to Expect

• Ongoing conversations, not just interviews: We’re continuously meeting with experienced and emerging leaders to build relationships and explore future opportunities.
• A connected leadership community: You’ll be part of a broader network of plant leaders across EMEA, sharing insights, driving change, and shaping strategy.
• A clear focus on diversity: We are committed to building inclusive teams that reflect the diversity of our people, customers, and communities.

What You Might Do

• Lead a manufacturing site with full accountability for performance, people, and transformation.
• Champion Lean, S&OP, and continuous improvement.
• Develop talent and foster a high-performance culture.
• Represent your site as a benchmark for excellence.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience leading complex manufacturing operations (typically 700+ employees).
• A strong track record in transformation, team development, and operational performance.
• Strategic thinking, financial acumen, and a passion for continuous improvement.
• Fluency in English; additional languages are a plus.
• Willingness to be fully present on-site.

Ready to Shape What’s Next?
