Director of Reengineering
Reengineering Strategy and Portfolio Leadership:
- Lead the reengineering program and portfolio, including intake, triage, prioritization, and roadmap management aligned to enterprise priorities.
- Build and maintain process architecture and a pipeline of high-impact opportunities across customer, operational, and enabling functions.
- Develop business cases and benefits hypotheses for prioritized initiatives, including cost, cycle time, quality, capacity, customer experience, and control performance.
- Establish standards for discovery, documentation, measurement, and handoffs to delivery teams.
Discovery, Design, and Solution Definition:
- Lead structured discovery and current state analysis using value stream mapping, process mapping, root cause analysis, and waste identification.
- Facilitate future state design that clarifies process steps, roles, decision points, exceptions, service levels, and controls by design.
- Define requirements, operating model implications, and performance measures for redesigned processes.
- Partner with stakeholders to align scope, decision rights, and readiness needs, including policy updates, training, communications, and change enablement.
Controls by Design:
- Embed control requirements into process redesign from inception, including preventive and detective controls, auditability, access discipline, segregation of duties, exception handling, and monitoring triggers.
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and Operations to align controls with regulatory requirements and practical execution.
Delivery Model and Implementation Enablement:
- Operate as a center of excellence that enables implementation by business owners and delivery teams while providing disciplined governance and support.
- Define implementation plans with clear ownership, milestones, dependencies, and adoption measures.
- Support execution through launch readiness, pilot training, training and job aids, cutover support, and postlaunch stabilization.
- Establish benefits realization tracking and performance reviews to sustain improvements.
Automation and Technology Enablement:
- Partner with Technology and Data teams to translate process redesign into workflow enablement, system configuration changes, automation opportunities, and decision support capabilities.
- Identify and prioritize automation opportunities, including rulesbased automation, low-code workflows, document and data routing, and analytics-enabled decisioning where appropriate.
- Ensure measurement systems are defined and operationalized, including process performance indicators, control monitoring signals, and benefits realization reporting.
Stakeholders Leadership and Communication:
- Lead crossfunctional working sessions, workshops, and governance routines with clear agendas, decisions, and follow-through.
- Communicate progress, risks, and decisions to leaders using concise narratives and datasupported reporting.
- Build strong relationships with functional leaders to drive adoption and reduce friction to implementation.
Team Leadership and Capability Building:
- Lead and develop a team of process analysts, continuous improvement leads, and transformation resources as assigned.
- Create reusable toolkits, templates, and standards that improve consistency and speed of delivery.
- Coach stakeholders on process thinking, measurement discipline, and change adoption.
- Bachelor’s degree required, an advanced degree preferred.
- 8 or more years of progressive experience in process improvement, business transformation, business process management (BPM), operational excellence, or reengineering.
- Demonstrated success leading cross-functional initiatives from discovery through implementation and sustained performance.
- Experience in insurance, financial services, franchising, regulated operations, and/or outsourced service delivery models is strongly preferred.
- Expertise in end-to-end process design, value stream mapping, process mapping, root cause analysis, and operating model definition.
- Ability to translate process design into implementable requirements across operations and technology teams.
- Strong orientation to automation and workflow enablement in partnership with technology teams.
- Strong analytical capability, including benefits modeling and performance measurement.
- Proficiency with process mapping and analysis tools such as Microsoft Visio
- Experience with workflow and automation platforms, including low-code automation and robotic process automation (RPA), and partnering with Technology teams to translate process designs into build-ready requirements.
- Experience using project and portfolio management tools to manage intake prioritization, delivery plans, and status reporting (Smartsheet or equivalent).
- Strong capability with data and reporting tools to define metrics, track benefits, and monitor performance (for example, Microsoft Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with documentation and knowledge management tools to create and maintain standards, templates, and reusable playbooks (SharePoint).
- Excellent facilitation, stakeholder management, and executive communication skills.
- Credentials that demonstrate process transformation capability are valued, including Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt or Black Belt), Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Business Process Professional (CBPP), or comparable certifications.
