VP Operational Excellence and Transformation

OverviewThe VP of Operational Excellence will lead a newly formed organization within ATI which will be the driving force behind innovations in our operational practices and processes while helping to evolve and elevate our business capabilities. This VP position is a critical Enterprise role that will help to drive business improvement at a core time of inflection for the company. The role will directly interact and influence the entire ELT, as well as Field Leadership and Enterprise SVPs. The VP will be a Leader of teams who will work to both build and mature several functions under their leadership:1) T&EPMO: Our Transformation and Enterprise PMO is core to helping the Enterprise execute on key Transformational initiatives. This team develops and implements the frameworks to establish initiative prioritization (including business case development and assessment), and then partners with business leaders and SMEs from across the organization to help drive project work through ensuring the right structure, governance, workstreams, ownership, and KPIs are established and tracked for all key initiatives.2) Workforce Management Excellence: A newly created function, the WFM Excellence function will be responsible for developing and managing labor standards, roster guidelines, productivity standards, and scheduling tools and processes for the organization. This function will be key to unlocking additional productivity improvement in the Field through understanding the optimal ways to get work done and sharing that through the entire organization.3) Operational Process Innovation: Today, operational innovation is fragmented and decentralized across ATI. The goal of the Operational Process innovation function is to become a single center of excellence in driving innovation to our operational practices. This will include such areas as reducing administrative time and non-value work through automation and/or process enhancements, creation of new scorecards and tools to drive performance, as well as taking an outside-in view on innovation to ensure we are leveraging the best thinking and capabilities from outside the organization as we move forward. This function does not exist today, and the VP will need to determine what is needed to stand it up, identify opportunities to ‘fund the journey’ if new team members are needed, and set forth a roadmap of innovation that will drive EBITDA improvement for the company.Today, ATI has several Transformation projects underway. This leader will need to quickly onboard with the organization/team, learn the business, and help to drive these initiatives to successful completion while standing up new functions. This is a highly transformational role that will be key to Enterprise bottom line expansion and Operational excellence moving forward.Responsibilities Lead and evolve the Enterprise PMO team to drive and oversee key initiatives across the organization – including managing an intake function, developing business cases, and working through all phases including change management.
