Implement Lean processes and operational excellence frameworks across both Sustainability & EHS functions, eliminating waste, standardising workflows, and improving cycle times for key processes.
Lead Electrification M&A due diligence and post-merger integration activities for Sustainability & EHS, ensuring seamless onboarding of acquired entities into the global governance framework and management systems regardless of country or business line.
Co-design, deploy, and oversee the serious injury prevention programs and the I&I rate reduction multiyear plans based on highly reliable organization principles, set targets, track progress, and ensure sustained results aligned with the 2030 ambition.
Own and govern H&S reporting, metrics, and dashboards, ensuring data quality, timeliness, and actionable insights for leadership decision-making and regulatory compliance.
Interface with GEV teams and Electrification Lean and business line leaders globally, ensuring alignment on policies, standards, reporting requirements, and enabling bidirectional best-practice sharing across the entire segment.
Establish and govern the sustainability & EHS function's global operating model, including roles, accountabilities, escalation paths, audit rhythms, and performance management routines across all Electrification.

Requirements

Degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or related field. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt+ certification or equivalent is a differentiator. MBA or postgraduate qualification in operational excellence or business transformation is a plus.
Significant proven progressive experience in operational excellence, continuous improvement, or enterprise integration roles within industrial/manufacturing environments, with significant international exposure and proven ability to design and deploy management systems at global scale across multiple countries and cultures.
Proven track record of deploying Kaizen, Lean, or Six Sigma programs that delivered measurable improvements in process efficiency, governance maturity, or operational KPIs at enterprise scale.
Experience leading M&A due diligence, post-merger integration, and business transformation programs globally. Ability to rapidly assess, harmonize, and integrate operating models and governance frameworks into a unified system. Familiarity with Electrification Segment and GEV structures preferred.
Strong expertise in building governance frameworks, performance management systems, and standardized operating models across diverse regulatory and cultural environments. Familiarity with sustainability reporting frameworks and H&S standards & regulations is an advantage but not essential; the ability to quickly learn domain-specific requirements and translate them into operational processes is key.
Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation, and communication skills with demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders, align competing priorities across business lines, and drive adoption of new ways of working in diverse cultural environments.
Fluent English required; additional European languages (Spanish, Italian, French, German) valued. Willingness to travel internationally (up to 30%).
