The Regional OPEX Manager provides centralized leadership, governance, and strategic direction for operational excellence across all LATAM manufacturing sites. The role exists to close a critical gap left by a decentralized, plant-only Continuous Improvement (CI) structure — one that, while effective locally, limits the organization's ability to scale best practices, standardize operating systems, and align operational improvement with regional business priorities. Responsible for working closely with plant leadership and cross-functional teams to diagnose and resolve issues impacting operational performance, as rate, yield, crewing, service level, lead-time and quality challenges which have a material impact on Supply Chain performance.  Oversee performance of operational-related functions across LATAM and develop OPEX strategy for the region, taking account the maturity of each site and create a roadmap of operational excellence tools and culture implementation. This role will also support budget process and targets definition. IMPORTANT: This role requires fluency in both English and Spanish. Please ensure your resume/CV is submitted in English to be considered for this opportunity. Responsibilities
