Your profile
You bring extensive experience in SQEHS, quality management, operational excellence, process excellence, or business process management. Comfortable navigating a complex global organization, you understand how to balance governance and compliance requirements with practical business needs.
Your background includes:
- Strong knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, as well as management systems and compliance frameworks.
- Lead Auditor certification or extensive audit experience.
- Experience driving process standardization and global change initiatives.
- Experience using process-management tools such as ARIS or a similar platform.
