What We’re Looking For – Is This You?

• Proven Industry & Consulting Experience: ~10-15 years of experience in manufacturing, operations excellence, and/or related consulting roles. You have led major improvement or digital transformation initiatives in sectors such as Consumer Products, Pharmaceuticals, Automotive, Industrial Equipment, or similar. Hands-on experience with large-scale deployment of Industry 4.0 technologies – for example, implementing a new Manufacturing Execution System across multiple plants, launching an AI-based predictive maintenance program, or scaling an automation/robotics rollout – is highly valued.

• Operational Excellence & Technical Depth: Deep knowledge of manufacturing and supply chain operations – you might be certified in Lean Six Sigma or have implemented TPM/Lean programs that delivered significant performance gains. You understand factory-floor systems and emerging digital tools: IoT platforms, advanced analytics, automation & control systems, AI/ML in production, etc. – and, critically, you know how to apply these in real industrial environments to solve problems. Familiarity with leading smart manufacturing solutions (e.g. MES, digital twin, AI-based process control, robotics) and modern methodologies (Agile, DevOps in an OT context) is expected.

• Leadership & Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage senior stakeholders. You have successfully guided project teams and perhaps coached managers or operational leaders in past roles5 6. You combine sharp analytical thinking with empathy and strong communication, enabling you to influence C-suite executives as well as engage effectively with engineers and shop-floor personnel. You are adept at navigating organizational change – from building the case for transformation to training users and sustaining impact.

• Entrepreneurial Mindset: A self-starter who proactively seeks out opportunities to drive improvement and growth. You may have played a role in business development, such as expanding accounts or contributing to thought leadership (writing white papers, speaking at industry forums). You stay updated on industry trends – whether it’s the rise of agentic AI in manufacturing or the latest in supply chain resilience – and you’re excited to bring those insights to clients. You are equally comfortable exploring big-picture strategy with a CEO and diving into technical details with engineers to ensure solutions work in practice.

• Education: An excellent academic record with a Master’s or higher in Engineering, Operations Management, Business (MBA), or a related field. Relevant certifications (e.g. PMP, CSCP, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) are a plus.
