We are looking for someone passionate about business transformation and the opportunity to build a team and drive capabilities in a Fortune 200 company. The right candidate will have a strong interest in solving business problems, an eagerness to work on complex process and transformation challenges affecting our development and supply value chain, and will be highly collaborative, a structured problem solver, and resilient in working through complexity.
