JOB DESCRIPTION

GE HealthCare is a newly independent public company since 2023 and has an ambitious strategy. A Transformation Office (TO) was created to help orchestrate and drive the many initiatives to fulfil that strategy and deliver on business commitments.
GE HealthCare is a leading global medical technology and digital solutions innovator. Our purpose is to create a world where healthcare has no limits. Unlock your ambition, turn ideas into world-changing realities, and join an organization where every voice makes a difference, and every difference builds a healthier world.

QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS:

• Demonstrated program experience successfully driving large, complex improvements in prior roles
• 8+ years of experience leading in Manufacturing, Sourcing, Supply Chain, Services, Digital, Commercial or P&L
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent required
• Strong management skills and demonstrated capability to influence
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills; strong business acumen
• Ability to effectively lead in a matrixed and virtual team environment

THE TRANSFORMATION OFFICE (TO)’S ROLE IS TO ENSURE THAT WE:

• Maintain an integrated view of our destination and do big, transformative things
• Focus on the critical few; the TO will maintain an active backlog of attractive “next hills to climb,” we will not be in a constant state of flux and flavors of the month
• Move with pace – not letting the perfect become the enemy of the good
• Move with fluidity – we know that our roadmap will evolve as we learn; it would be a bad sign if it didn’t
• Move with consistency – while the roadmap will evolve, we will invest until the changes are installed, not spiking the ball on the 20-yard line, and will regularly evaluate when the line is ready to fully pick up the change
  Challenge the status quo – don’t do things just because that is what has always been done.
