- Define clear business rules, decision logic, handoffs, and controls that enable orchestration and automation
- Lead business process design for enterprise workflow and business process management (BPM) platforms such as Pega
- Partner with Supply Chain, Information Technology (IT), and architecture teams to ensure business intent is accurately implemented
- Establish and monitor process performance metrics to drive prioritization, continuous improvement, and value realization
- Enable a shift from functional silos to end‑to‑end process ownership across the Supply Chain
The Must Haves

- Proven ability to translate business strategy and operational objectives into executable process designs
- Experience partnering closely with IT and technology teams on digital implementations
- Strong end‑to‑end process design skills with the ability to operate beyond functional silos
- Ability to clearly articulate business rules, decision logic, and workflows
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
Nice To Haves
- Supply Chain domain experience across planning, order management, procurement, fulfillment, logistics, or service supply chain
- Experience supporting enterprise process orchestration or workflow enablement initiatives
- Familiarity with process performance measurement, automation coverage, and exception management
- Certifications in Lean, Six Sigma, Business Process Management (BPM), or process improvement disciplines
- Experience contributing to reusable standards, templates, and process design best practices
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, evolving transformation environments
