Supply Chain Group Leader

Job Description

Supply Chain Group Leaders are leaders of the front-line award manufacturing professionals who produce and ship awards for O.C. Tanner clients. They take on the responsibilities of production and team development, while working to improve our systems. They find unique ways to convey team needs, get traction for departmental changes, and creatively drive change to benefit their team.

At O.C. Tanner, our people are core to our success. They add value as they deliver daily for clients and drive improvement relentlessly. Your job as a Group Leader is to enable and empower individual greatness. We're looking for a servant leader--someone passionate about effective leadership and eager to help their teams deliver and drive systemic change.

The work you'll do

• Spend time on the floor with people and processes, identify constraints that affect your team's ability to be creative, successful, and fulfilled; and drive change to alleviate roadblocks
• Empower team members to tackle their own challenges, do the right things, and grow in their careers
• Consistently lead your team to achieve key results in cost, safety, quality, delivery, and morale
• Coach team members to shape behavior and connect them to company values and strategy
• Act proactively based on a deep understanding of O.C. Tanner's clients, mission, and core competencies
• Manage risk, venture forward without complete clarity, set strategic goals, move the organization forward
• Continuously improve--we are nerds and geeks when it comes to the science of removing waste from our processes and engaging everyone in making things better

Who you are or want to become

• An analyst at heart--always aware of time, always looking for gaps and duplication of effort, always observing and seeking solutions
• A mad scientist that experiments when faced with an obstacle (then standardizes and spreads the solution so others can replicate the results consistently)
• A simplifier with a passion for continuous improvement and finding unique ways to remove the need for over-management
• A true leader with a love for the people you serve (your team)--challenging them, helping them grow, and celebrating their success
• A believer in O.C. Tanner's mission and purpose with a connection to our culture, our history, and the philosophical mission of our founder

Job Requirements

Skills and experience you'll need

• Effective written and verbal communication skills to communicate ideas, connect cross-departmentally, and converse with support specialists
• Effectively utilize MS applications to make standard work documents, track and show experiments on process, prepare presentations, write email and memos, build spreadsheets to track performance, and communicate business needs and changes
• Bachelor's degrees help sometimes, Supply Chain or Process Engineering emphasis or classes help sometimes, but more important is a track record of pursing excellence and compulsion for applying passion into your education, work, community, or hobbies
• A track record of generating change through process improvement and the ability to document, spread, and scale the improvement will give candidates an edge in selection
