Join a leading national consumer organisation at an exciting stage of growth, where continuous improvement is central to how the business operates and makes decisions.

This is a hands-on operational excellence role, focused on making the way the business operates simpler, more efficient and more cost-effective. It suits someone who loves getting to the root of a problem and seeing the fix through. You’ll take improvement from first idea through to delivery, working with real operational data and frontline teams across a large national network of sites.

With strong senior support for improvement work and a business that makes decisions quickly, your recommendations will turn into real change, and you’ll present your work at many levels, from frontline teams up to General Managers.

Key responsibilities include:

- Leading end-to-end diagnostics of major operational processes and spend areas, from how work is requested and approved through to supplier delivery, materials and payment
- Getting into the detail of data from many sources, and going on site to observe, measure and run time-in-motion studies where data doesn’t yet exist
- Defining business problems, developing hypotheses and testing them with stakeholders and subject matter experts
- Quantifying opportunities and building business cases with ROI and size-of-prize estimates
- Redesigning processes and ways of working across people, process and technology to improve quality, cost and governance




- Presenting findings and recommendations to steering committees and senior leaders
- Driving implementation alongside operational teams, making sure perks are realised and changes become business as usual
- Building Lean and continuous improvement capability across the business through workshops and training

What You’ll Bring:

- 3 to 5 years’ experience in business or process improvement, ideally gained within an operations-focused management consulting firm (e.g. Argon & Co, Alvarez & Marsal, Kearney, PIP, FTI Consulting or similar), currently at or around manager level
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to work with incomplete data from many sources and turn it into clear insights and recommendations
- Experience delivering cost-out or value-creation work
- Confidence engaging with stakeholders at every level
- Lean Six Sigma certification (e.g. Green or Black Belt), or strong grounding in Lean or Six Sigma methods, highly regarded
- Experience in consumer, FMCG, food or manufacturing environments highly regarded, though not essential
- Open to Sydney or Melbourne
