At Emerson Flow Control, we're seeking a Value Stream Manager to lead one of the manufacturing value streams at our flagship North Texas facility in Sherman, Texas. As the business leader for your operation, you'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, influence results, and lead a talented team in a high-mix, configure-to-order manufacturing environment.

If you're energized by leading change, building high-performing teams, and creating lasting operational improvements, we'd love to hear from you.

Partner Across the Business

• Collaborate with Materials, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Technology, Quality, Maintenance, Customer Service, and other functions to remove constraints and improve operational performance.
• Support new product introductions, capital projects, and manufacturing process improvements while ensuring operational readiness.

Who You Are

You are a servant leader who develops people, builds high-performing teams, and leads from the shop floor. You create a culture of accountability, solve problems through data and collaboration, and inspire continuous improvement to deliver exceptional customer and business results.

For This Role, You Will Need:
