Sr Director Transformation - Value Realization

As Senior Director Enterprise Transformation – Value Realization at Honeywell Technologies, you will be responsible for building the mechanisms, methods, and governance required to translate transformation activity into measurable bottom-line impact. This role will create a consistent enterprise approach to value definition, baselining, target setting, benefit attribution, forecasting, and realization across the transformation portfolio.

Working closely with Finance, Strategic Business Group (SBG) and functional leaders, transformation teams, and initiative owners, this leader will connect operational outcomes to the P&L, ensure programs align to measurable targets, and provide clear, credible visibility into benefits, risks, and performance against commitments. This role requires strong financial and P&L acumen combined with creativity to measure value differently where traditional metrics do not fully capture business impact.

You will report directly to the VP Enterprise Transformation and work from our Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, or Houston, TX location on a hybrid work schedule.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Value Realization Methodology

• Develop and own a consistent enterprise value realization methodology across transformation programs.
• Define standards for value identification, baselining, target setting, benefit attribution, forecasting, validation, and sustainment.
• Create practical frameworks that connect operational, customer, organizational, and digital outcomes to financial impact.
• Design fit-for-purpose measurement approaches for benefits that are difficult to capture through traditional financial metrics.
• Establish common definitions, templates, assumptions, and evidence requirements that improve consistency and clarity.

P&L Impact & Financial Partnership

• Partner with Finance and business leaders to translate transformation outcomes into revenue, margin, cost, cash, working-capital, and productivity impact, as applicable.
• Ensure value commitments are traceable to business plans, forecasts, budgets, and relevant P&L lines without double counting.
• Develop credible financial baselines and document assumptions, timing, dependencies, and attribution logic.
• Create mechanisms to distinguish gross benefits, implementation costs, net benefits, realized value, and sustained run-rate impact.
• Provide clear analysis of when and where transformation value is expected to appear in financial performance.

Program Alignment to Measurable Targets

• Ensure transformation programs are aligned to explicit, measurable business and financial targets from inception.
• Partner with initiative owners to build value cases with clear measures, milestones, ownership, and realization timing.
• Challenge targets and assumptions constructively to improve rigor, comparability, and decision usefulness.
• Integrate value realization requirements into transformation stage gates, investment decisions, and portfolio prioritization.
• Confirm that leading operational indicators are linked to expected financial outcomes and monitored through delivery.

Governance & Measurement Discipline

• Maintain governance and measurement discipline across the enterprise transformation portfolio.
• Establish clear decision rights and accountability among Finance, transformation teams, process owners, and business leaders.
• Lead recurring value reviews that surface progress, variance, risks, dependencies, and corrective actions.
• Define controls for benefit approval, changes to commitments, claims validation, and closure of realized benefits.
• Promote transparency and a single, trusted view of transformation value across stakeholder groups.

Benefits, KPIs & Commitment Tracking

• Track benefits, KPIs, milestones, and progress against approved commitments from business case through sustainment.
• Develop dashboards and executive reporting that clearly distinguish activity, operational performance, financial impact, and confidence in realization.
• Identify gaps between forecast and realized value and drive root-cause analysis and recovery actions.
• Monitor leading and lagging indicators to provide early warning of benefit leakage or delayed impact.
• Ensure completed programs demonstrate sustained results rather than one-time or unsupported benefit claims.

Measurement Innovation & Insight

• Create new approaches to measure transformation value when conventional metrics do not provide a complete or timely view.
• Use scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, benchmarks, and proxy measures to support decisions while maintaining transparent assumptions.
• Partner with data, analytics, and technology teams to improve measurement accuracy, timeliness, and repeatability.
• Generate portfolio insights that reveal which transformation approaches, capabilities, and investments produce the strongest outcomes.
• Continuously improve the value realization methodology based on lessons learned and business needs.

Executive Partnership & Leadership

• Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leaders on transformation economics, value trade-offs, and portfolio performance.
• Communicate complex financial and operational information in a concise, credible, and decision-oriented manner.
• Build alignment across Finance, SBGs, functions, and transformation teams on value definitions and commitments.
• Build and lead high-performing teams while fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and results-oriented culture.
• Coach initiative owners and transformation leaders to strengthen commercial thinking, financial acumen, and accountability for outcomes.
