MTS Project Manager

The opportunity

The internal capability lead MTS is responsible for building, internalizing, and scaling a new operating model for high voltage switchgear that enables sustainable growth in a rapidly expanding market.

In the first phase, the role partners closely with an external consulting company that is driving to redesign the business execution model. As a key member in the transformational team, the role requires local presence in the concerned Operating Units and Feeder Factories during time of the execution. You will build further competence to support the execution that is planned to be done in staggered waves.

In the second phase, we will ramp-down the engagement of the external consultant and the internal capability lead will put the learned know-how in action and he/she will apply built competence by scaling across all Hitachi Energy switchgear factories with the local teams.

In the third phase you will evolve into the global subject matter expert and become governance and process owner for the new operating model.

Through-out the phases you will closely work with the fit for growth program to establish the process and tool framework to drive for organizational sustainability and backbone creation of the new business model
