This is the practical engine behind the Improvement and Standardisation spine point, converting insight from performance data into measurable efficiency and experience gains.\nPurpose\nTo own the continuous improvement pipeline end to end - intake, triage, prioritisation, and status tracking - so People Ops shifts from “getting through work” to “shifting the dial,” converting performance data into measurable efficiency and experience gains.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. CI pipeline ownership\nOwn and maintain the CI pipeline (intake, triage, prioritisation, status tracking) sourced from Weekly Regional Performance Reviews, escalations, and forum discussions.\nExamples include:\nApplying a consistent prioritisation framework (e.g. impact vs. effort) so items are ranked objectively rather than by forum discussion alone\n2. Process standardisation groundwork\nDesign, document, and maintain standardised operating processes and procedures, establishing process governance, controls, and documentation standards.\n3. Root cause identification\nIdentify root causes of recurring issues, inefficiencies, waste, and bottlenecks across all regions.\nExamples include:\nWorking with Master Data Specialists and Regional Service Managers\nFacilitating root cause analysis and problem-solving workshops\n4. Benefits tracking\nDefine and monitor process performance metrics and KPIs, tracking benefits realisation for completed CI initiatives.\nExamples include:\nQuantifying time saved, escalations reduced, or quality improved\nReporting this into the Monthly Forum\n5. Automation and technology partnership\nIdentify automation opportunities and partner with technology teams to implement solutions.\nExamples include:\nSupporting digital transformation initiatives\nEvaluating emerging tools and technologies to improve process effectiveness\n6. Release train coordination (Leadership)\nFeed CI themes and candidate improvements into the release train, coordinating sequencing with the Process Optimisation Specialist and CI/PE/Gov lead.\nExamples include:\nLeading continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies\n7. Governance discipline\nMaintain the actions log (owners, dates) for CI decisions taken in governance forums, ensuring nothing is agreed without a clear next step.\nExamples include:\nSupporting the single-page performance narrative prepared for Monthly and Quarterly governance\nSkills, Knowledge and Experience\nProcess & Improvement Expertise: Process Mapping & Optimization, Lean Six Sigma Methodologies, Business Process Reengineering, Root Cause Analysis, Continuous Improvement Frameworks.\nAnalytical & Data Skills: Data Analysis and Interpretation, KPI and Performance Management, Reporting and Dashboard Utilization.\nTechnology & Automation: Process Automation Tools (Power Automate, RPA platforms), Process Mining Tools (Celonis, Signavio, or similar), Microsoft Office Suite and Power BI.\nStakeholder & Leadership Skills: Stakeholder Management, Change Management, Cross-functional Collaboration.\nObjectives\n1. Automation and digital transformation: leverage technology and automation opportunities to eliminate manual effort, reduce cycle times, and increase operational effectiveness.\n2. CI culture: embed Lean and continuous improvement principles across teams, encouraging innovation, problemsolving, and ownership of process excellence.\n3. Measurable benefits: ensure all improvement initiatives contribute tangible value through cost savings, productivity gains, risk reduction, or improved stakeholder satisfaction.\nWhat This Role Is Not\nThis role:\nDoes not design process content itself - that is the Process Optimisation Specialist\nDoes not own platform configuration - that is the ServiceNow Specialist\nDoes not unilaterally approve resourcing shifts or strategic trade-offs - those remain with the SSC Director and the People Ops Strategy Owner\nNot a people manager role. Instead, it identifies and prioritises what needs improving, and partners with the roles that design and govern the actual change.\n12-Month Key Shifts (Current to Future)\nFrom ad hoc issue-spotting to a visible, ranked CI backlog with clear ownership\nFrom anecdote-driven prioritisation to evidence-led, impact/effort-scored decisions\nFrom isolated fixes to a continuous improvement portfolio delivering measurable business benefits\nFrom manual, non-value-added activity to a 20-30% reduction through optimisation and automation\nFrom reactive fixing to a genuine CI and operational excellence culture embedded across the organisation\nHow This Role Complements Others\nProcess Optimisation Specialist: hands off approved CI items for process (re)design and standardisation.\nMaster Data Specialists and Regional Service Managers: partners on root-cause identification for recurring data and service issues.\nShared Service Center Lead: coordinates release train sequencing and supplies the CI/improvement view for governance narratives.\nOur commitment to a fair hiring\nAt Vestas, we evaluate all candidates solely based on their professional experience, education, and relevant skills.
