We are seeking a highly analytical, improvement-oriented Business Process & Solutions Lead to drive business process optimization, operational standardization, and technology-enabled improvement across the Conduit product portfolio.
This role will work closely with operational stakeholders to understand how business processes function today, identify inefficiencies and improvement opportunities, and design scalable future-state workflows. The successful candidate will apply structured process-improvement methodologies, including Lean Six Sigma, business process analysis, and data-driven problem-solving, to ensure technology investments address underlying business needs and deliver measurable operational value.
The position requires a combination of business process expertise, operational understanding, analytical capabilities, and practical technology skills. This individual will partner with Product Owners, operations teams, engineering teams, enterprise-system owners, and technology vendors to translate complex business problems into standardized processes, actionable solution concepts, and measurable improvement initiatives.
The successful candidate will be comfortable challenging established workflows, analyzing operational data, facilitating cross-functional discussions, and using modern analytical and development tools to investigate opportunities and validate improvement concepts.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze existing business processes across Conduit-supported operations to identify inefficiencies, unnecessary complexity, manual activities, and opportunities for improvement.

- Identify opportunities to standardize workflows across sites, business units, technologies, and operational groups while accommodating legitimate differences in business requirements.
- Partner with Product Owners and stakeholders to translate business challenges into clearly defined problem statements, improvement opportunities, and solution requirements.
- Evaluate whether proposed technology enhancements address underlying process problems rather than introducing automation around inefficient or inconsistent workflows.
- Develop practical recommendations for process redesign, simplification, automation, and technology-enabled operational improvements.
- Use data analysis, reporting, and operational performance metrics to quantify existing challenges, establish baselines, and assess improvement opportunities.
- Establish measurable success criteria and expected business outcomes for process improvements and proposed solutions.
- Facilitate workshops and working sessions with operational stakeholders to validate current processes, evaluate alternatives, and build alignment around future-state workflows.

- Partner with technical teams to evaluate solution feasibility and support rapid prototyping of business process improvements.
- Develop process standards, documentation, and recommendations that support consistent adoption and sustainable operational execution.
- Measure the effectiveness of implemented improvements and identify additional opportunities for optimization.
