Senior Consultant, Operational Excellence & Transformation

A Snapshot of Your Day

Your mission is to turn operational complexity into competitive advantage for Siemens Energy’s Grid Technologies. Functioning as a lead project manager for operational excellence, you will take full ownership of end-to-end process redesigns—from the whiteboard to the shop floor. You will dismantle inefficiencies, engineer lean, digital-first workflows, and secure buy-in across the matrix. This is a role for a hands-on strategist ready to lead major initiatives and deliver measurable bottom-line impact without the administrative constraints of line management.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Architect Operational Strategy: Lead high-priority improvement projects with full autonomy. Translate high-level business goals into actionable operational strategies, ensuring seamless delivery from strategy through execution.
• Drive End-to-End Transformation: Go beyond simple process mapping. Conduct rigorous Value Stream Assessments to identify and eliminate inefficiencies, rebuilding lean, agile workflows that enhance EBITDA and accelerate delivery.
• Lead Digitalization & Industry 4.0: Serve as the connector between business needs and technology capabilities. Identify high-value use cases for RPA, Process Mining, and Intelligent Automation to create a “Smart Operations” ecosystem.
• Governance & Sustainability: Design and implement robust KPI frameworks and governance structures to ensure improvements become the new standard, not isolated initiatives.
• Strategic Change Management: Anticipate and address resistance by turning skeptics into advocates. Develop and execute advanced change management, communication, and coaching strategies to drive adoption across diverse stakeholder groups.

What You Bring

• Excellent academic background in Engineering, Business, or Operations Management; an MBA or Master’s degree is desirable
• Extensive experience, ideally within a top-tier management consulting firm (e.g., Operations/Implementation practice) or in a specialized operational excellence role within a complex industrial environment.
• Proven ability to lead large-scale projects without direct line authority, with strong skills in influencing senior stakeholders and driving cross-functional teams toward shared objectives.
• Deep expertise in Lean Six Sigma (Black Belt preferred), Value Stream Mapping, and BPMN, with the ability to apply these tools pragmatically to solve complex, ambiguous challenges.
• Experience with the “Digital Thread” and familiarity with Process Mining (e.g., Celonis), Low-Code automation, or data visualization tools (PowerBI/Tableau) is highly desirable.
