Reports to: Continuous Improvement Center of Excellence (COE) Leader

Role Overview: Be the Architect of Change

Powering Connections. Building the Future. At NSI Industries, we don’t just maintain systems; we build them. We are seeking a Director of Continuous Improvement who is a true builder at heart—someone who thrives on creating frameworks from the ground up rather than just executing an existing playbook.

As we continue to integrate and scale our industry-leading brands, we need a strategic architect to design and deploy our operational excellence roadmap. This isn’t a role for a passive observer; it’s for a hands-on leader who will leave their fingerprints on our national operations by establishing the standards, culture, and processes that will define NSI’s future.

Responsibilities

  • Build the CI Framework: Design and launch a comprehensive roadmap from scratch, embedding Lean principles and structural problem-solving capabilities across all functions.
  • Architect Operational Excellence: Partner with senior leadership to identify high-impact opportunities, moving beyond tactical fixes to build long-term strategic advantages in cost, quality, and delivery.
  • Implement Formal Problem Solving: Develop, train, and institutionalize a standardized PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology across the organization to ensure data-driven decision-making becomes part of our DNA.
  • Develop Organizational Capability: Create and scale a custom learning curriculum, building a "bench" of CI talent through mentorship and structured certification pathways.
  • Lead High-Impact Transformation: Facilitate Kaizen events and cross-functional "sprints" that bridge the gap between product design, manufacturing, and distribution.
  • Drive Cultural Evolution: Act as a change agent to foster a culture of accountability and "everyday improvement," moving the organization from reactive troubleshooting to proactive innovation.
  • Establish KPIs: Build the dashboards and governance structures necessary to measure the health of the CI system and its impact on the bottom line.

Requirements

  • The "Builder" Profile: Proven experience building or significantly transforming a CI function across multiple sites.
  • Industry Knowledge: Hands-on knowledge of manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, or distribution. Experience leading Lean transformations in a multi-site environment is highly valued.
  • Technical Expertise: Strong background in Lean, Six Sigma, and Agile.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or related technical field; Master’s preferred.
  • Experience: 7–10 years of leadership in continuous improvement or operational excellence.
  • Strategic Problem Solver: Expert-level mastery of formal problem-solving tools (A3, 5-Whys, Fishbone) within a PDCA framework.
  • Change Management: Exceptional ability to influence and lead through change, with a "hands-on" approach to shop-floor and warehouse-level implementation.

We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
