6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Project On-Time Delivery

The percentage of your managed CI projects that are completed within the agreed-upon timeline and budget.

Target · >90% of all owned projects delivered on time and within budget.

If you're leading four major CI programmes this quarter, at least three should hit their original deadlines and cost estimates. The fourth might have a valid, well-communicated reason for delay.

Average Cycle Time Reduction

The average percentage reduction in end-to-end process cycle time for the projects you lead and your team delivers.

Target · >25% average cycle time reduction across all completed projects.

If a manufacturing process used to take 10 days from order to dispatch, your project should aim to get that down to 7.5 days or less, on average.

Validated Cost Savings/Avoidance

The actual, auditable financial benefit (cost savings or cost avoidance) directly attributable to the CI programmes you lead.

Target · Deliver £1M-£3M in validated savings/avoidance annually.

Reducing scrap rates by 5% on a high-volume production line, leading to £500K in material cost savings, or optimising logistics routes to cut £200K in transport costs.

Mentee Success & Development

The progress and success of the Continuous Improvement Specialists and Analysts who report directly to you.

Target · At least one mentored L2 specialist promoted or independently leading a significant project within 18 months.

One of your team members, initially an L2, successfully designs and implements a new warehouse picking process, delivering 15% efficiency gains, demonstrating their readiness for more autonomy.

Process Capability Index (Cpk/Ppk) Improvement

The improvement in the ability of critical processes to consistently meet customer specifications, as measured by Cpk or Ppk.

Target · Increase Cpk/Ppk by at least 0.2 points on 3-5 critical processes annually.

If a key product dimension has a Cpk of 1.0, your project should push that to 1.2 or higher, meaning fewer defects and less rework.

Stakeholder Buy-in & Collaboration

Your ability to get key operational leaders and their teams on board with change, ensuring they feel heard and are active participants, not just recipients, of improvement.

Operations Directors proactively seek your input on strategic planning
teams enthusiastically participate in Kaizen events
you're seen as a trusted partner, not just 'the CI person'. We'd expect to hear positive feedback from your peers and senior leaders about how you bring people along.

Sustainable Change Implementation

The degree to which your implemented improvements stick around and become the new standard, rather than reverting to old ways after a few months.

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are updated and followed
new metrics are consistently tracked
you can demonstrate that the benefits from your projects are sustained over time, not just a flash in the pan. We'll look for evidence that processes are truly embedded.

Problem-Solving Rigour

The depth and thoroughness of your approach to identifying root causes and designing robust, data-driven solutions, rather than quick fixes.

Your A3 reports are comprehensive and logical
you consistently use appropriate statistical tools (e.g., ANOVA, regression) to prove hypotheses
your solutions address the actual root cause, not just symptoms. You're the one who asks 'why' five times, and then asks it again.

Team Development & Coaching

Your effectiveness in coaching and developing your direct reports, helping them grow their Lean and Six Sigma capabilities.

Your team members are confidently leading their own projects
they're getting positive feedback from stakeholders
they're actively contributing to our CI knowledge base
they're asking for your advice, but also challenging your thinking constructively. You're building capability, not just delegating tasks.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real buzz from taking a tangled, inefficient process and systematically figuring out how to make it better. The messier the problem, the more engaged you are. You love the 'aha!' moment when the data finally reveals the true root cause.

Spending a week diving into ERP data and observing a production line to uncover why a specific product's lead time is consistently 20% longer than planned, then designing a new flow that cuts it by 30%.

Driving Tangible Impact

You're not satisfied with just making recommendations; you want to see your ideas implemented and delivering measurable results. The thought of reducing waste, improving quality, or saving the company millions genuinely excites you. You want to point to something and say, 'I helped make that better'.

Leading a project that reduces customer complaints by 15% through process improvements, directly impacting customer satisfaction and saving the customer service team hundreds of hours.

Developing Others

You enjoy coaching and mentoring your team members and operational colleagues, helping them understand and apply CI principles. Seeing someone you've coached successfully lead their own improvement initiative is incredibly rewarding for you. You're a force multiplier for capability.

Guiding a junior analyst through their first Value Stream Map, helping them spot non-value-added steps, and then watching them confidently present their findings to a plant manager.

What frustrates people

Being seen as the 'CI Janitor'—only brought in to clean up messes, not to prevent them upstream.
Fighting tooth and nail for basic data because departments don't want their performance measured.
Executives who talk a big game about Lean but won't give you the resources or political cover to make real changes.
Drowning in useless data from systems, but struggling to get the one clean dataset you actually need.
The 'Not Invented Here' syndrome, where good ideas are rejected just because they came from an 'outsider'.
The pressure to prove a hard-dollar ROI for every single improvement, even foundational ones like 5S, whose benefits are often softer (safety, morale).
The 'Kaizen high' followed by a 'crash' when teams revert to old ways because leadership didn't follow through.

What this role does not give you

A purely theoretical or academic environment; this is hands-on, practical work.
A role where you're always the direct decision-maker; much of your influence is indirect.
A static, predictable day-to-day routine; priorities shift, and you'll need to adapt.
A role where you can avoid difficult conversations or challenging the status quo.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the efficiency and effectiveness of our global operational processes. Your work will influence how we allocate resources, reduce waste, and ultimately impact our profitability and customer satisfaction across multiple regions. You're not just improving a single process; you're building a more robust, responsive, and cost-effective operating system for the business.

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience leading multiple complex, cross-functional CI projects from initiation to sustained completion.
Demonstrable experience managing and mentoring junior CI professionals, helping them grow their skills and impact.
A strong track record of delivering significant, quantifiable financial and operational benefits through process improvement.
Expert-level proficiency in at least one statistical software package (e.g., Minitab, JMP) and advanced data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
Extensive practical application of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies in a global Operations environment, not just theoretical understanding.
Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, particularly with senior operational leaders.
A recognised Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification (or equivalent experience demonstrating mastery).

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're probably spending too much time on the tedious bits of CI. Imagine if you could cut down on manual data analysis, process mapping, and report writing. Well, AI isn't just a buzzword here; it's a practical toolkit that will genuinely make you more effective, freeing you up to focus on the strategic, high-impact work you love.

For a Lead Global Continuous Improvement Manager, AI isn't about replacing your expertise; it's about augmenting it. It's about giving you superpowers to analyse data faster, discover hidden process inefficiencies, generate creative solutions, and communicate your findings with more clarity and speed. Think of it as your super-smart, tireless assistant.

Automated Process Discovery

Use AI-powered process mining tools like Celonis to automatically chew through ERP or MES system logs. The AI will map out the actual 'as-is' process flows, including all those hidden variations, rework loops, and bottlenecks that no one ever writes down. This replaces weeks of manual observation and workshops with data-driven insights.

Predictive Quality Analysis

Feed all your production data—machine settings, temperatures, raw material batches, operator IDs—into a machine learning model. The AI identifies complex patterns that predict quality defects before they even happen. This means you can proactively tweak settings, preventing costly scrap and rework, instead of just reacting to problems.

Kaizen Idea Generation

Stuck for ideas in a Kaizen workshop? Use a GenAI assistant, pre-trained on a massive library of Lean case studies and best practices. Prompt it with a specific problem, like 'Generate 10 creative Poka-yoke ideas to prevent mislabelling on a bottling line.' It'll give your team a brilliant starting point, helping to overcome those initial creative blocks and spark better solutions.

Executive Summary Translation

You've got a detailed, technical project update, packed with jargon like 'Cpk', 'DMAIC phases', and 'ANOVA results'. Paste it into a GenAI tool and ask it to 'Translate this for a non-technical executive audience, focusing on the financial impact, risk reduction, and next steps.' It instantly creates a clear, concise, and compelling summary for your board reports, saving you hours of re-writing.

Common questions

How do you become a Lead Global Continuous Improvement Manager?
