Consulting Operations – Director Manufacturing Services
Our Consulting practice is focused on working in partnership with clients providing consulting services from strategy through to execution, helping clients re-think their business model and transform their operating model to deliver change and real business transformation.
Your impact
As a Director Manufacturing Services, your main role will be to shape and lead programs that consist of strategizing, designing and implementing improvement initiatives in a manufacturing environment. These initiatives might be linked to a range of our offerings, etc.
Seeing the recent technological revolution manufacturing is going through, affinity with technology is a must. Especially the translation of technology into real added value operational solutions is a key asset in our day-to-day job.
Your engagements will be at the client’s site; most likely within an international environment.
You will receive guidance and coaching from partners and peer directors in your development, the same as you are expected to guide and coach your team(s) on their assignments.
You will be encouraged to initiate and develop new ideas, challenge the status quo. Our highly motivated team has an excellent track record of delivering high quality work to major international clients and has ambitious growth plans for the next years.
Reporting to Partners, you will be leading a team of Consultants in delivering client projects or a workstream in a larger transformational agenda. Next to a more project/client oriented scope, you will also be part of the leadership team of our Belgian manufacturing services team. Your role is to help define the strategic direction of the team from all business angles: team development, product development and business development.
