Here’s just a few of the things you’ll be responsible for:
* Leadership, Not Just Management: We don't want just a manager; we want a leader. Your primary responsibility is to inspire and guide your team towards achieving their full potential. Lead by example, motivate, and create an environment where your team is empowered to excel.
* Continuous Improvement Champion: Your role is to be the driving force behind continuous improvement initiatives. Embrace and promote Lean, Six Sigma, and Continuous Improvement methodologies to identify areas for process enhancement, waste reduction, and cost optimization. Implement these improvements, ensuring measurable and sustainable results.

Your area should be a shining example of operational excellence, and you are responsible for instilling a culture of accountability, efficiency, and quality.
