Director, Business Transformation

The Director, Business Transformation (Siding & Accessories Business Unit) reports to the VP, Customer & Strategy Enablement and carries two interconnected responsibilities: leading high-priority transformation initiatives across the business unit, and building the deployment infrastructure that enables the BU to execute its strategic agenda with discipline and consistency.

The current flagship initiative is a multi-phase order-to-delivery optimization program — redesigning how Cornerstone Building Brands takes, fulfills, and delivers customer orders end-to-end across four domains: order intake and scheduling (customer service), inventory management (supply chain), demand planning, and production scheduling (manufacturing). This program is the immediate priority, requiring a leader who can drive a complex, multi-workstream initiative to completion while managing functional stakeholders across the organization.

The deployment infrastructure responsibility ensures that this and future initiatives are executed with discipline and consistency — building the governance, tools, and operating rhythm that make strategy execution visible and repeatable across the BU.

Key Responsibilities

Transformation Initiative Leadership

• Lead high-priority BU transformation initiatives from program design through execution — currently the order-to-delivery network optimization program spanning Customer Service, Supply Chain, demand planning, and Manufacturing
• Own program structure, workstream governance, integrated planning, and milestone accountability; maintain a clear view of interdependencies, critical path, and sequencing across all active workstreams
• Build and maintain the business case and benefit tracking model — connecting initiative investments to outcomes across service level, inventory, lead time, and cost
• Manage external advisors and implementation partners; ensure delivery accountability sits with internal owners
• Lead change management and stakeholder engagement — ensuring functional and site-level leaders are active partners in the work, not passive recipients of it

Strategy Deployment Infrastructure

• Build the governance and operating rhythm that translates BU strategic priorities into a sequenced, owned, and accountable portfolio of initiatives
• Establish the intake discipline, stage-gate reviews, and leadership cadence that surface trade-off decisions proactively — so the active portfolio reflects real organizational capacity
• Develop the BU's execution capability over time — common tools, accountability structures, and ways of working that make transformation delivery more consistent and scalable

Stakeholder Alignment & Communication

• Serve as the integration point across Customer Service, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Commercial, Finance, and IT for active transformation programs
• Build trust with functional and site-level leaders — ensuring program decisions reflect operational reality and affected teams are partners in the work
• Prepare and deliver program updates, portfolio reviews, and investment summaries for BU and corporate leadership

Required

• 10–15 years in transformation, operations, or program leadership roles — with direct accountability for large, multi-phase programs in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Demonstrated experience leading order-to-delivery, supply chain, or order fulfillment improvement programs spanning at least two of: order management, inventory management, demand planning, or production scheduling
• Operational fluency — able to engage credibly with Customer Service, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing on process redesign and technology requirements, not just program governance
• Track record of building cross-functional alignment across Operations, Supply Chain, Commercial, and Finance in a matrixed organization
• Executive presence and communication skills; comfortable presenting program status and portfolio trade-offs to senior leadership
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or related field; MBA strongly preferred

Preferred

• Management consulting background (operations or supply chain practice) combined with in-house operating accountability
• Experience with S&OP / integrated business planning, ERP-linked scheduling, or inventory optimization platforms in a manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with building products or B2B distribution — understanding of how fulfillment performance affects channel relationships
• PMP, PgMP, APICS CPIM/CSCP, or equivalent a plus

Leadership Competencies

Program Leadership

Structured Problem Solving

Executive Communication

Translates complex program status and trade-offs into crisp narratives for senior leadership; adapts message from plant floor to C-suite

Operational Credibility

Has walked the floor, understands manufacturing and distribution realities, and earns trust with operators — not just executives

Deployment Discipline

Builds the governance and operating rhythm that connects strategy to action; right-sizes process to the organization's maturity and never lets structure become an excuse for slow execution
