About this role
The Lead Specialist, Standards and Strategic Initiatives partners with Supply Chain Center and functional teams to understand how work is performed, remove unnecessary steps, improve flow, and establish practical standards that can be used consistently across the network.
Working across Continuous Improvement, Operations, Training, Technology, project teams, and functional owners, this role helps translate new Supply Chain initiatives into clear, repeatable ways of working. The Lead Specialist supports initiatives from early design through rollout and sustainment, helping ensure processes are documented, scalable, measurable, and supported by clear ownership.

- Analyze process steps, handoffs, controls, and variation to simplify work, reduce waste, improve flow, and design future-state processes with operators, center leaders, subject matter experts, and functional owners.
- Standardize proven methods across centers while accounting for valid operational, regulatory, and facility differences, and create the standard work, process maps, job aids, measures, ownership, and review cadence needed for sustainment.
- Partner with initiative owners to clarify business needs, scope, expected outcomes, and Supply Chain impacts, and coordinate operational work from design through pilot, rollout, and sustainment.
- Build and maintain implementation plans that identify milestones, decisions, risks, dependencies, and owners; bring cross-functional partners together to resolve process, training, systems, labor, communication, and readiness gaps.
- Translate initiatives into approved standards, readiness tools, operating routines, SOPs, Leader Standard Work, training materials, and enterprise knowledge content while preventing unnecessary variation or duplicate work.
- Assess center readiness; support communications, learning, pilots, and early launches; coach leaders and project teams on standard work and problem solving; define measures; facilitate structured problem solving; and document results and lessons learned.
