You understand that knowledge is a powerful thing - and for you, there’s nothing more fulfilling than developing breakthrough strategies and processes (or enhancing existing ones) that will help build lean strategies and principles within an organization. As the Lean Manager for Association Operations, you’ll create a Lean practice that permeates through the organization, becoming part of the AMA organizational DNA and culture for the benefit of members, employees, and business. If this sounds like your jam - you need to talk to us.

**WHAT MOVES YOU**
- You know the only way to strike long-lasting deals is to build long-lasting relationships.
- You believe that being a great leader not only involves being a strong motivator, but also a mentor who generously shares time, knowledge and experience.
- You’re an excellent communicator, but you’re an even better listener.
- Your parents probably have more than a few home movies of your performances. You love an audience, and you enjoy presenting and pitching new ideas and opportunities.
- You juggle multiple tasks effortlessly and you always somehow manage to stay ahead of things.
- Integrity and a strong work ethic? You’ve got ‘em in spades
- You’ve got a solid grounding in service delivery, project management, journey mapping, lean principles and organizational structure.
- You believe there is a better way. In fact, you KNOW there is a better way even if you don’t know what that way is just yet.
- You have an inquisitive mind and are a pragmatic thinker. You tackle problems head on, make solid decisions and know when it’s appropriate to invite others in to collaborate on a situation.

**WHAT YOU’LL DO**
- Report to the Chief Operating Officer, Association.
- Work closely with operational Lean Specialists.
- Lead the AMA Lean Coordination Group which brings together AMA Lean Coordinators and reports to the Lean Steering Committee. You’ll develop and manage the strategic plan, budget, and Lean roll-out roadmap.
- Develop and lead cross-functional teams to execute lean initiatives and projects across AMA.
- Lead kaizens while coaching and training team members working toward their Green belt to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to drive continuous improvement.
- Work with the operations teams to identify any trends or opportunities and then develop process changes to address the issues.
- Work closely with suppliers to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce waste.
- Be willing to travel within Alberta.

**WHAT YOU’VE DONE**
- You’ve got a post-secondary education in business administration, engineering, or operations management.
- You’ve got a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt along with 3-5 years of experience in implementing Lean methodologies.
- You’ve proven that you know how to get high quality results and foster positive relationships with various stakeholders.

**WHAT YOU'LL GET**
- Competitive salary.
- Flexible benefits.
- Outstanding employer-paid Defined Pension Plan.
- Great AMA discounts.
- Unlimited learning opportunities.
- Paid Vacation and other paid time off including a Volunteer Day and Me-Day.
