What will your role be?

We are seeking an experienced KPI Project Manager to lead key performance improvement initiatives across manufacturing and operational functions. This individual will be responsible for translating KPI performance data into actionable improvement plans, managing cross-functional projects, and driving measurable improvements in operational efficiency, productivity, quality, cost, and overall business performance. This role is focused on driving action and delivering results from KPI performance insights, rather than primarily collecting, analyzing, or reporting data.

The ideal candidate brings a strong background in Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, and project management, with demonstrated experience leading initiatives using methodologies such as Kaizen, Lean Six Sigma, and other process improvement frameworks.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of relevant professional experience in project management, manufacturing operations, continuous improvement, operational excellence, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional projects focused on operational performance improvement and measurable business results.
• Strong working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies, root cause analysis, and process optimization.
• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification preferred; equivalent hands-on experience leading successful Lean and continuous improvement initiatives will also be considered.
• Proven ability to translate KPI performance gaps into structured improvement projects and drive execution through completion.
• Experience working directly with manufacturing or operational teams to improve productivity, quality, cost, delivery, efficiency, or process reliability.
• Strong communication, organizational, analytical, and leadership skills.
• Proficiency with KPI reporting tools.
