Alfa Laval is looking for a Global Business Process Manager within PDL Operations and Supply Chain Development
Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping. As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.
Are you passionate about driving process improvements and alignment between our local Distribution Centers, and capture the requirements when implementing new systems?
Within our Parts, Distribution & Logistics (PDL) division we’re constantly exploring how to elevate our processes, tools, and business practices globally across our DCs. As a key member of the Business Process Manager Team, your mission is to understand global and local requirements, drive process improvements, and pay attention to the end-to-end processes in our system roll-out projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Global process management: Identify common and unique parts of the DC supply chain processes, secure updated process documentation, review and align between DCs and ERP process managers. Collect, describe, prioritize and drive process change requests. Introduce new and changed processes to the DCs.
• PDL process improvement projects: Lead initiatives to change and streamline targeted parts of the DC supply chain processes.
• Roll-out & implementation projects: Take active part in the fit/gap analysis in the ERP replacement projects, secure that all DC requirements are put into word and follow-up to ensure fit for purpose.
• Community Leadership: Drive the process community within PDL, sharing best practices and impactful use cases across the organization.

This is a global role, based in Lund (SE), Stockholm (SE) or Kolding (DK), with the opportunity to travel internationally to our sites in Asia, the USA, and Europe (~30 travel days per year).
