Director, Business Process Excellence

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Company description: Imperial Brady is a leading North American distributor... (first paragraph). That's about the company, could go under "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. Could also have "About the company". But instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those headings only if content exists. We have: - Role description: "Director, Business Process Excellence position in Jersey City, NJ! Join a strong and continuously evolving group, helping to continue to grow our business. If you’re eager for your next opportunity, Imperial Brady is a great place to take that next step. The Director, Business Process Excellence role is responsible for identifying and delivering sustainable productivity improvements across the enterprise through process redesign, automation, and the application of AI solutions. The role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, requiring the ability to map and analyze business processes, quantify improvement opportunities, and work collaboratively with IT and business teams to design, configure, and implement effective solutions." That's about the role. Then "Compensation Range: $180,000 to $220,000 + Bonus" Then "You Will" bullet list of responsibilities (list of duties). Then "You Have" bullet list of qualifications/requirements. Then benefits paragraph: "We offer a dynamic environment for our more than 13,000 employees to work, learn, and grow professionally. We value our people and strive to create rewarding career opportunities by offering competitive salaries and benefits (medical, dental, vision), a 401(k) program with company match, life insurance, a generous paid time off package, educational reimbursement, paid family leave, and adoption assistance." Then EEO etc which we must remove. Also there is a line: "#imperialbradyjobs All correspondence will come directly from Imperial Brady and not a personal email address." That's maybe metadata, but we can drop as not substantive. Also "Massachusetts Applicants It is unlawful..." is legal boilerplate, remove. Thus sections: - About the role: could include company description and role overview. Might combine first paragraph and role description. - Responsibilities: the "You Will" list. - Requirements: maybe "You Have" includes education, experience, etc. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications and Skills? But we can follow typical: Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (certifications), Skills (specific skills). However we have to only include sections when posting has real specific content. We can decide to put all under "Requirements" or split. Better to follow typical: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. But we need to avoid empty sections. Let's extract: Responsibilities (You Will): - Lead end-to-end process discovery and value-stream mapping across priority functions (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, warehouse/DC operations, pricing and quoting, customer service, back-office finance/HR). - Identify and prioritize automation and AI opportunities, including RPA, workflow and low-code platforms, generative AI copilots and agents, and advanced analytics, based on effort, impact, and feasibility. - Build rigorous business cases (cost-to-serve, FTE impact, cycle-time, error-rate, working-capital effects) in partnership with FP&A and the assigned Program Manager; ensure benefit cases are auditable and tied to the enterprise EBITDA bridge. - Partner with IT, Data, and external vendors to design, configure, or oversee the development of automation and AI solutions, serving as the business-side technical bridge between operating teams and technical delivery teams. - Run structured pilots, measure results against the business case, and lead full-scale rollout and standardization across branches and distribution centers once solutions are proven. - Apply Lean/Six Sigma and change-management practices to ensure redesigned processes and new tools are adopted, sustained, and continuously improved post-go-live. - Equip frontline and functional teams with the training, tools, and support needed to adopt new ways of working and sustain improvements independently. - Maintain and prioritize a pipeline of productivity and automation initiatives, tracking progress and realized benefits through the enterprise initiative portfolio managed by the PMO. - Evaluate emerging AI and automation technologies relevant to distribution and industrial businesses and develop recommendations for where the company should invest and scale these capabilities. Requirements (You Have): - Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, business, or related field; MBA a plus. - 5–9 years in process improvement, operations excellence, or automation/AI delivery roles, (ideally within distribution, supply chain, manufacturing, or other high-volume operating environments). - Hands-on experience deploying at least one class of automation/AI tooling in a live operating environment - e.g., RPA (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate), low-code workflow platforms, or generative AI tools/copilots/agents integrated into business processes. - Hands-on working knowledge of scoping, prompting, and configuring AI solutions for business applications, with experience partnering with Data and IT teams on data readiness and system integration. - Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt (or equivalent process-excellence methodology training) preferred. - Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to build defensible ROI cases and measure results against them; Comfortable working in Excel and Power BI. SQL or basic scripting experience is a plus but not required. - Demonstrated track record of leading change with frontline operating teams, with the ability to work effectively in distribution center and branch environments. Qualifications: maybe we could treat Lean Six Sigma etc as qualifications. But we already have them in Requirements. Could split: Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (certifications), Skills (technical skills). However we have to avoid thin sections. Might be okay to have three sections each with content. Let's decide: - Requirements: Bachelor's degree, 5-9 years experience. - Qualifications: Lean Six Sigma Green Belt/Black Belt preferred, MBA a plus. - Skills: Hands-on experience with automation/AI tooling, AI scoping/prompting/configuring, quantitative analytical skills, Excel/Power BI, SQL/scripting, leading change, frontline operating teams. But we also have "Hands-on experience deploying at least one class of automation/AI tooling..." which is skill. We could also include "Strong quantitative and analytical skills..." as skill. Thus we can have: Responsibilities (ul) Requirements (ul) - education, years experience. Qualifications (ul) - Lean Six Sigma, MBA. Skills (ul) - automation/AI tooling experience, AI scoping, Excel/Power BI, SQL/scripting, leading change, frontline. Benefits: we have paragraph. Pay: we have compensation range. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. About the role: we can include company description and role overview. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s): Imperial Brady is a leading North American distributor and solutions provider for cleaning and facility care, foodservice, and packaging.
