DESCRIPTION

Own the simplify-before-migrate mandate for Acosta's GBS transformation. Lead end-to-end process redesign across all GCC-bound function families. No process is cleared for wave transition without Process Excellence Lead sign-off. Directly conditions value realization and AI/automation program success.

RESPONSIBILITIES

+ Productivity Improvement: Identify and deliver process-level quick wins with measured pre/post impact. Lead Lean events (kaizen, value stream mapping) for high-complexity processes before migration gate.

+ Future-State Process Design: Own the end-to-end future-state process architecture for GBS at full GCC+AI maturity (18-24 month horizon). Design for the dual-hub model: India, Mexico, retained U.S. team, and BU-embedded roles.

+ Global Process Owner (GPO) Support: Support the design and stand-up of the GPO function from Day 1. Build GPO operating cadence: performance reviews, standardization governance, exception management, and CI pipeline

+ Lead and develop a global team of Process Excellence Analysts focused on driving continuous improvement, operational efficiency, standardization, and service delivery excellence across multiple regions and functions.
