• Redesign business processes around desired outcomes, challenging legacy practices and aligning workflows with Eaton's standard value streams and operating model.

• Experience helping stand up a Center of Excellence, shared-services, or transformation office from the ground up.

• Strong analytical and data skills: building baselines, analyzing variation, and proving results with data.
• Process mapping fluency (value stream mapping, SIPOC, swim-lane, process capability analysis).
• Proven experience setting enterprise process standards or operating models - e.g., a global process owner / shared-services model, or a named business or operating system deployed across functions and regions.
