Genuine interest in our customers' success, our family spirit and personal commitment are the values that summarize the corporate culture of Seco Tools. These values not only reflect a shared view of the business, they also unite our employees across both geographical and cultural borders.
As our current VP of Global Operations is moving on to a CEO position outside our industry segment, we present this excellent opportunity to join a highly successful and international business division within the Sandvik Group.
Are you a passionate leader, in search of a unique chance to make your mark on our business by leading our Global Operations organization towards the next level of supply and manufacturing excellence? Then, look no further – we have the perfect opening for you!
Within Global Operations, our vision is to establish a customer focused and proactive way of working where delivery capability is a competitive advantage, and continuous improvements, integrated leadership and empowered employees are natural parts of our desired culture. Our organization consists of four operative manufacturing branches - Inserts, Tools, Round Tools and Custom Products – as well as Supply Chain Management, Purchasing and Quality EHS, and we have approximately 2 000 coworkers located in ten different countries. A truly global business!
Your mission
In this position, you apply a cross functional mindset - with a one company perspective - striving for a genuinely collaborative culture. You lead the co-creation of a strategy that provides clear direction to develop state-of the art operations worldwide, as well as cultural transformation following the technology change. With a global footprint, you bring high flexibility that balances demand, capacity and specialization for capturing current and future business opportunities. Important parts of this role are to deliver and follow up on operational performance in all aspects related to quality, environment, health, safety, delivery, profitability and productivity. You are also recognized as a promoter of strong partnerships within all divisions of Sandvik Machining Solutions (SMS) in order to bring the entire business area to the next level.
As a strong and inspiring leader, you coach and challenge your team - developing both people and the organization. On top of this, you possess solid change management capabilities and engage yourself in growing talents and securing effective succession planning.
As Vice President for Global Operations, you are an active member of the Seco Executive Management team and you report directly to the President of Seco Tools. While the location for this position is flexible, a significant part of your time is required at the Seco headquarters in Fagersta (Sweden) and extensive international travelling is included in your job.
Your profile
We are looking for someone with a strong manufacturing and supply chain background, as well as a successful track record from senior leadership positions where your people management skills have made a true difference. As we act on the global stage, your communication skills in English must be excellent, both verbally and in writing.
To be a role model for our Seco family, we believe that you are a master in leading change and engaging stakeholders. You have a clear holistic mindset, and as you consider both visionary and strategic aspects on multiple levels, you identify opportunities and deliver strong results for our business. You enjoy acting in a diverse and complex environment, where speed and profitability go hand in hand, and you need to consider options and make informed decisions on the go, even in times of uncertainty. With a leadership based on coaching and communication, you steadily build trust and commitment in the organization and you understand the value of diversity and inclusion to establish high performing and successful teams.
At Seco, we believe that diversity of experience, perspective and background will lead to a better environment for our employees, our business and our customers.
