Your skills, abilities and experience should include:

- Experience delivering operational excellence using manufacturing problem solving methodology such as Lean, Six Sigma, EFQM, or Kaizen
- Delivery of sustainable improvements in an operational environment
- Knowledge of advanced manufacturing technologies, systems, and digital techniques that combine people, process, technology and data to increase productivity across the business and support Industry 4.0 service
- Supply chain management and development
- Experience leading others through change with effective facilitation, coaching and mentoring skills - such as ILM Diploma
- Project management skills (with case studies of deployment)
- Comfortable working across all aspects of business enterprise and supply chains
- Effective communication and reporting skills

**What we offer**:
If successful, you'll gain access to the following benefits:

- Membership of the Scottish Enterprise Pension and Life Assurance Scheme - a pension based on your final pensionable salary, flexible retirement options and generous life assurance cover
- Up to 43 annual leave days a year (including public holidays) with the opportunity to buy additional holidays
- Flexible working arrangements
- A health cash plan
- Our Employee Retail Benefits Scheme
- Our Employee Assistance Scheme

**How to apply**:
Interviews will be held in the week commencing 17 April 2023.

Being part of Scottish Enterprise means being open to new ideas and trying different ways of working. We support each other to reach our full potential. We celebrate shared success and learn together when things don’t go so well. And we always treat each other fairly, with respect and understanding. Together, we are the difference.
