Description

You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you’ll help us deliver better care for billions of people around the world. It starts with YOU.
Kimberly-Clark’s global Transformation team has played a key role in operationalizing the Powering Care strategy which was announced in March 2024.

The transformation team shapes, leads and supports enterprise efforts to transform our path to growth, cost effectiveness and how we work as an organization.
The Director of Transformation plays a pivotal enterprise role at the intersection of strategy and execution. Sitting within the Transformation team, this leader ensures the company remains focused on what matters most—translating top-level ambition into aligned, actionable priorities that fuel long-term growth. By shaping and stewarding the ELT strategic priorities, the Director drives enterprise clarity, focus, and follow-through.
This is an impact-driven role for a strategic operator who thrives in ambiguity, influences across functions, and brings sharp thinking and disciplined execution.

  • Drive discussion and debate with leadership on prioritization, trade-offs, and key strategic decisions using a combination of facts, judgment, and personal impact to build credibility and influence outcomes.
  • Develop and execute on the approach to ensure priorities are set up for success with credible plans, resourcing, investment and leadership attention; ensure process for strategic input, decision making, escalation and roadblock removal is integrated into company operating rhythm
  • Partner with teams to drive to outcomes; act as a thought partner on full potential opportunity, strategic choices, and acceleration and/or de-risking of value delivery
  • Build mechanism to understand progress against opportunity, build accountability and identify and resolve/mitigate any gap/risk
  • Provide targeted, high-impact support on critical initiatives directly or by mobilizing internal strategy, transformation, consulting, or initiative teams as needed.
  • Proactively take on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to continuously improve Kimberly-Clark’s performance.
